---|---|---|
Effect | Hazard ratio (95% Confidence interval) |
Likelihood ratio test on interaction, P value |
Chemotherapy in RS ≤ 10 | 1.19 (0.41–3.51) | 0.014 |
Chemotherapy in RS from 11–25 | 0.61 (0.26–1.35) | |
Chemotherapy in RS > 25 | 0.27 (0.12–0.62) |
a Adjusting for patient age (>50 vs. ≤50 years), clinical tumor size (>2.0 vs. ≤2.0 cm), ER by ligand binding assay (≥100 vs. <100 fmol/mg), PR by ligand binding assay (≥100 vs. <100 fmol/mg), and tumor grade (well differentiated, moderately differentiated, and poorly differentiated). Five (5) patients had missing values in tumor grade or tumor size.
