NOTE. Similar results were observed when using TNM stage instead of T and N of TNM in multivariable Cox regression model (data not shown).

Abbreviations: ACN, acinar; DFS, disease-free survival; HR, hazard ratio; MIP, micropapillary; OS, overall survival; PAP, papillary; SDFS, specific disease-free survival; SOL, solid.
