Reclassification of the study population using histopathologic criteria: cases with at least any one or two or all of the four criteria in relation to recurrence
| Combination of criteria | Patients with recurrence (n = 28) |
Patients without recurrence (n = 139) |
p-value | Odds ratio | ||

I, invasion; K3, Ki-67 LI > 3%; p20, p53 immunoreactivity ≥ 20%; M2, mitosis ≥ 2/10HPF.
