| Variable | Exp (B) | 95 % CI for exp (B) | p value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nodal Metastasis | 1.163 | 0.566–2.387 | 0.681 |
| Distant metastasis | 1.682 | 0.750–3.770 | 0.207 |
| Surgical resection margins | 1.111 | 0.265–4.657 | 0. 885 |
| Lymphovascular invasion | 1.792 | 0.608–5.278 | 0.290 |
| Local disease recurrence | 3.322 | 1.264–8.732 | 0.015* |
