Abbreviations: CI=confidence interval; D=distant; LN=lymph node; RRR=relative risk ratio; S/IT=satellite/in-transit; WT=wild type.
Multivariate analysis was adjusted for patient sex, patient age, anatomical location of the primary tumour and histologic subtype.
Satellite/in-transit metastasis as the reference category.
