Gender (male/female)	-	-	0.422 (0.206-0.864)	0.018*
Nodal (N) status (0/1)	2.863 (1.206-6.794)	0.017*	2.950 (1.202-7.239)	0.018*
MIF in Lymphocytes (low/high)	1.733 (1.086-2.766)	0.021*	1.684 (1.049-2.705)	0.031*

Note: The Cox proportional hazards regression model contained the significantly different factors in univariate analysis, including gender, WHO grade, T status, N status and TNM stage. HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval;
