a

All clinical variables within the multivariate model are binary, as follows: Age: 0 for <60 (median age) and 1 for ≥60; Grade: 0 for low grade, 1 for high grade; 0 for stage I/II, 1 for stage III/IV; Residual disease: 0 for <1 cm, 1 for ≥1 cm. CI = confidence interval; HR = hazard ratio; OS= overall survival; PFS = progression-free survival.
