BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: To establish appropriate therapeutic modalities for @entity1358 ( @entity1358 ), informations on the factors affecting prognosis of @entity1 are essential. For this purpose, multivariate analysis including a large set of variables is necessary. METHODS: Prognostic significance of 14 clinical factors and 19 histologic factors including counting of @entity575 -stained nucleolar organizer regions (AgNORs) were evaluated in 96 @entity1 . Age of @entity1 ranged from 41 to 85 (median 59) yr with a male to female ratio of 4:1. The @entity5 were staged based on the TNM classification as follows: 7 in stage I, 58 in stage II, 15 in stage III, and 11 in stage IV. RESULTS: The overall and metastasis-free survival rates in all @entity1 were 80.1% and 72.7%, respectively. Multivariate analysis using Cox's proportional hazards model performed on the factors proved to be significant at the univariate analysis. Univariate analysis revealed four clinical factors including presence of macroscopic @entity811 , symptoms such as @entity158 and palpable abdominal mass, @entity417 , and adjuvant therapy, and nine histologic factors, including AgNOR count, to be significant for survival. Multivariate analysis showed that @entity417 , pathological stage, and AgNOR count were independent factors for overall survival of @entity1 . The AgNOR count, in particular, is the only predictive factor for metastasis-free survival. CONCLUSIONS: Among various clinicopathological factors, @entity417 , pathological stage, and AgNOR count are significant prognosticators of @entity1358 . The AgNOR count is also predictive factor for metastasis-free survival.
