In the multivariate analysis, several prognostic factors, i.e., adjuvant chemotherapy treatment, MSI status, angioinvasive growth, differentiation grade, T stage, and N stage, were included (Table 2).
For multivariate analysis, several factors were listed as potential confounders according to epidemiological studies (World Cancer Research Fund, 1997; Yatsuya et al, 2002; Hoshiyama and Sasaba, 1992).
At multivariate analysis, several risk factors for the development of small arterially enhancing nodules into an HCC could be identified: the presence of HCC treatment history, the presence of coexistent HCC and the absence of a coexistent identifiable arterioportal shunt.
In multivariate analysis, several factors were shown to be independently associated with gestational age at first presentation to a public clinic for pregnancy-care, and these factors were similar across the three samples of pregnant women (Table 2).
For multivariate analysis, several factors were listed as potential confounders according to epidemiological studies (Boeing, 1991; Hoshiyama and Sasaba, 1992; World Cancer Research Fund, 1997; Hoshiyama et al, 2002; Yatsuya et al, 2002).
In the multivariate analysis, several characteristics were identified as independent poor prognosis variables: poor performance status, weight loss equal to or greater than 5%, stage equal to or greater than IIIb and SCS greater than 9.
