Competing risk analysis of germinal-center-harboring TLS and 3-year risk of colorectal cancer recurrence. Cumulative incidences of recurrence were derived with competing risk analysis, accounting for death-from-any-cause as the competing risk of interest. Patients were dichotomized into two groups according to whether they had at least one TLS with an active GC reaction (n = 68) or not (n = 41). Risktables (“Number at risk”) report the number of patients in each group at risk of recurrence at the start of each time interval. The number of recurrences in each time interval (“Recurrences”) are reported in brackets.
