corresponds to the number of individuals.
Adjusted by age, clinical stage, tumor differentiation, lymph node status, parametrial invasion and peritumor intravascular cancer emboli.
Poor: undifferentiated cell with a spindle shape and presence of nuclear fission; moderate: individual cell keratinization but no cellular bridge or keratin pearl formation; well: differentiated cells with keratin pearl.
Boldfaced values indicate a significant difference at the 5% level.
