Declarations
:
: This investigation was carried out according to the Declaration of Helsinki. All experimental procedures after 2013 were approved by the Osaka City University ethics committee (Approval No. 3138 and 4092), and all patients had provided informed consent for collection and analysis of the specimens. On the other hand, because the other experimental procedures up to 2013 were performed based on only all-inclusive consent, an opt-out form as for an observational study was used. Written informed consent was obtained from all patients.
: Not applicable. This manuscript does not contain any individual person’s data. The clinical pathological features are also completely anonymized and there is no personally identifiable information.
: The authors declare that they have no competing interests.
