Abstract:while patients with lung metastasis showed longer OS than those without lung metastasis (36.0 months vs. 28.6 months, p¼0.038). Multivariable Cox regression analysis showed presence of liver metastasis (HR[hazard ratio]: 2.265, 95% CI [confidence interval]: 1.239-4.139, p¼0.008) and brain metastasis (HR: 1.496, 95% CI: 0.963-2.080, p¼0.043) were independent risk factors for OS, and presence of lung metastasis (HR: 0.669, 95% CI: 0.460-0.971, p¼0.034) was an independent protective factor for OS.
