¹Each superscript letter denotes a subset of MET mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor immunohistochemistry categories whose column proportions do not differ significantly from each other at the 0.05 level.

MET: Mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor; EMVI: Extramural venous invasion; LNM: Lymph node metastasis; LVI: Lymphovascular invasion; M/D: Moderately differentiated; P/D: Poorly differentiated; PDC: Poorly differentiated clusters; PNI: Perineural invasion; TB: Tumor budding; W/D: Well differentiated.
