  1. Adjusted analysis included age (continuous), sex, T stage (I-II, III, IV), N stage (0,1,2), M stage (0, 1), differentiation grade (high-intermediate vs. low and vascular invasion (+/−/unknown)) and KRAS mutation status (wild-type, codon 12 mutation, codon 13 mutation). One case with mutual KRAS codons 12 and 13 mutation was excluded from the adjusted analysis.
