PTPRC and neoplasm: As estimated by Cox regression analysis (Table S1), the presence of CD45-positive cells at the tumor – liver border was found to show a strong positive prognostic effect on RFS in both patient panels (panel I: HR = 0.004, 95% CI: <0.001–0.627, p = 0.033; panel II: HR = 0.156, 95% CI: 0.045–0.546, p = 0.004) and for panel I and panel II together (HR = 0.093, 95% CI: 0.028–0.305, p<0.001); the combination of data sets was possible based on additional testing for interactions between the two panels and staining-based variables (Table S2).
