Fig 2 Distribution of (A) log odds of positive lymph nodes (LODDS) and number of lymph nodes metastasis (LNM) (r = 0.762; p < 0.001) and (B) LODDS and positive lymph node ratio (LNR) (r = 0.880; p < 0.001).

Fig 3 Log hazard ratio as function of (A) number of lymph node metastases (LNM), (B) positive lymph node ratio (LNR), (C) log odds of positive lymph nodes (LODDS), (D) no lymph nodes involved (n = 1,926), and (E) all nodes involved of LODDS individually (n = 404). Dotted lines indicate the 95% confidence interval.
