NOTE. Final model was multivariable analysis with backward stepwise elimination of nonsignificant predictors. All models were stratified by study site and clinical stage. Total patient cases included, 1,117; events, 137.

Abbreviations: ALC, absolute lymphocyte count; β2M, β2-microglobulin; HR, hazard ratio; OS, overall survival; ULN, upper limit of normal.
