Table 3 Logistic regression analysis of the association between tumor stage and clinicopathological features (n = 63)

	B	SEM	Chi-squared	p-value	OR (95% CI)

Histology	0.292	0.531	0.303	0.582	1.339(0.473-3.793)
High level *IL-10* expression in TAM	2.952	0.742	15.844	0.0001	19.137(4.474-81.859)

The dependent variable is early- or late-stage group The independent variables included sex (0 = female; 1 = male), age (continuous variable, in yrs), Tobacco use (0 = Current,1 = Former,2 = Never), histology (1 = adenocarcinoma; 2 = squamous cell carcinoma;3 = others) and IL-10 expression (0 = low (<30.5); 1 = high (≥30.5). OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval.
