CNDP2 and neoplasm: After multivariable analysis, male gender (optimism adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 2.13, 95% CI 0.95–4.77), poor tumor differentiation grade (aHR 1.59, 95% CI 1.07–2.35), signet ring cell adenocarcinoma (cHR 1.72, 95% CI 1.07–2.75), baseline cN1 (aHR 1.72, 95% CI 1.09–2.75), baseline cN2-3 (aHR 2.07, 95% CI 1.27–3.38), and baseline SUVmax ≥ 7 (aHR 1.71, 95% CI 1.09–2.69), were independently predictive for 1-year RFS, respectively (Supplemental Table 3).
