In the literature

Although nodal stage (N-stage) was significantly associated with DFS and showed a strong trend toward significance for OS, other variables—including perineural invasion, lymphovascular invasion, tumor grade, and patient gender—did not retain independent prognostic value in the final model.
Because none of the surgery subcategories “liver,” “kidney,” or “pancreas” had proven significant risk factors, and because the effects of these variables did not significantly differ from one another ( P = 0.81), regression coefficients were recalculated after combining these factors with “spleen” and “adrenal gland” in the category “other.” For the subcategory “gallbladder and bile duct” a strong trend toward significance was found and led to the inclusion of this factor in the risk model.
