We performed three analyses setting the cut-off value for the median tumor bed ratio (mTBR) to 10% (a, b), to 20% (c, d) and additionally partitioned the cohort into quartiles (e, f). While patients with a mTBR below 10% exhibited prolonged survival (OS, p = 0.016), no prognostic benefit was shown at the cut-off value of 20%. Moreover, a finer grading into quartiles did not prove to be of prognostic relevance.
