Values are presented as mean (standard deviation) or number
Chi-square test and t-test for P values. Among 110 LVSI+ patients, 73 patients have received chemoradiotherapy, 31 received chemotherapy, 6 had no further treatment, and none received radiotherapy alone. Because of limited data size of other groups, only patients of chemoradiotherapy and chemotherapy were included
SCC Squamous cell carcinoma antigen, G1 Well differentiated, G2 Moderately differentiated, G3 Poorly or undifferentiated
