Spearman Rho correlation coefficient (cc) calculation was performed for all items (p value is provided over the cc value). Follicle density and germinal center density were calculated by number of follicles or germinal centers over lymph node area; calculation of non-circular follicles and germinal centers is described in the methods part; mantle zone ratio was calculated as area ratio of each germinal center over the corresponding follicle; Mφ: cortical macrophage infiltrations as defined in the methods part; TIL: tumor infiltrating lymphocytes as defined in the methods part.
