*ORs were calculated by unconditional logistic regression analysis and adjusted for pathologic stage and grade; Preoperative BMI was classified by quartiles of the range: quartile 1, <21.7 kg/m2; quartile 2, 21.7-23.7 kg/m2; quartile 3, 23.8-25.7 kg/m2; quartile 4, ≥25.8 kg/m2. BMI, body mass index; CSM, cancer specific mortality; OM, overall mortality; CI, confidence interval; OR, odds ratio.
