- Group 1 consisted of patients who had normal LDH levels and CEA levels ≤70 ng/mL, group 2 consisted of patients with increased LDH levels and CEA levels ≤ 70 ng/mL, or patients with normal LDH levels and CEA levels >70 ng/mL, group 3 consisted of patients who had increased LDH levels and CEA levels >70 ng/mL. The overall survival was compared between PPTR and non-PPTR group, and the differences were analyzed using the log-rank test
