Table 3 Associations between clinicopathological findings and overall survival.

From: Histological markers, sickle-shaped blood vessels, myxoid area, and infiltrating growth pattern help stratify the prognosis of patients with myxofibrosarcoma/undifferentiated sarcoma

  1. Statistically significant P-values are shown in bold.
  2. *The HRs are for 1 mitosis or 1% increase.
  3. **For analysis of sickle-shaped blood vessels, we dichotomized the cases based on the number of vessels in the maximum cut-surface of each tumor into those with 1–99 vessels and those with ≥ 100 vessels.
