Abbreviations: HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval; IS—immunointensity; PS—immunopercentage; IRS—immunoreactive score; VI—vascular invasion; PNI—perineural invasion. HR: adjusting for age, gender, histological grade, tumor stage, pT, pN, and study. “-“ indicates that the variable was not included in multivariate analysis. Bold values denote statistically significant p-values (p < 0.05).
