Furthermore, it failed to prognosticate PFS in other pooled analyses. For brain invasion, no consistent association with the progression was found in each pooled analysis according to the included studies. Among the remaining five atypical features, spontaneous necrosis, sheeting, and prominent nucleoli showed a significant correlation with PFS in the gross analysis. In the analysis that pooled the HRs from the multivariate analyses, only spontaneous necrosis had significant association with PFS.
