Bold items have been considered statistically significant. Cox proportional hazards regression model was used in univariate analysis. Patients with TNM stage IV tumors were excluded when analyzing disease-free survival. Abbreviations: 95% CI, 95% confidence interval; OS, overall survival; DFS, disease-free survival; TNM, tumor-node-metastasis; MSI, microsatellite instability; MSS, microsatellite stable.
