Multivariate survival analysis involving possible predictors of liver-metastasis-free survival. A: CA19-9 ≥ 26.3 U/ml, apoB-to-apoAI ratio ≥ 0.63, TRG 5 − 3, pT4 and pN + stage maintained to independently predict a decreased 5-year liver-metastasis-free survival. B: the liver-metastasis-free survival curves of the patients with different apoB-to-apoAI ratio were adjusted by the COX proportional hazards model. Abbreviations: CA19-9, carbohydrate antigen 19 − 9; apoAI, apolipoprotein A-I; apoB, apolipoprotein B; TRG, tumor regression grade; HR, hazard, ratio; CI, confidence interval. * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01
