Table 3A. Predictive model (Cox regression) for 5-year cancer-specific survival (CSS) prediction in AdC patients.

5-year CSS	Variables	p value	ExpB	Inferior	Superior
Multiple Cox Regression	FAP(+)/BCAT(N) tumor front	3.5x10-4	1.20	1.09	1.33
	Grade	0.007	1.49	1.11	1.99
	pT	5.2x10-5	1.89	1.39	2.56
	N	0.96	0.99	0.78	1.26
	M	7.3x10-5	1.88	1.38	2.57
Final Step of Wald Method	FAP(+)/BCAT(N) tumor front	3.4x10-4	1.20	1.09	1.33
	Grade	0.006	1.49	1.12	1.97
pT	2.6x10-5	1.88	1.40	2.53
M	7.2x10-5	1.88	1.38	2.57

Selected independent variables were: FAP(+)/BCAT(N) expression in the primary tumor’s infiltrating front, histologic grade, local invasion (pT), lymph node (N) and distant (M) metastases. ExpB with confidence interval (CI) is also included. Statistically significant values are highlighted in bold.
