The data used in this study retrospectively included some of the routine blood tests requested preoperatively, routine radiological examinations performed for staging purposes, some of the pathological data routinely stained postoperatively, and cancer follow-up forms recorded in the data processing software programme (FONET) of our hospital during follow-up. Apart from routine laboratory, radiological and pathological staining, no additional tests or staining that may affect diagnosis and treatment were performed. An archive search including these examinations was performed. The requirement for an informed consent form was waived.
