Statistical analysis for correlations of model establishment success with clinicopathological for A: primary cell lines, B: PDX, and C: patient-derived tumor model (PDTM). Analysis were performed using a univariate (chi-squared-test and Fisher exact test) and multivariate approaches. The multivariate analysis was done including all significant parameters. * = p <0.05, ** = p < 0.01, *** = p < 0.001.
