Figure 4 L/V-AR ratio ROC curve. The AUCs of AR and L/V ratios were 0.0872 and 0.496, respectively. After Z testing, the Z value was 13.597, P<0.01. Statistical analysis revealed that the efficacy of using the L/V ratio to judge extra-capsular invasion is better than use of the AR ratio. The Youden index was 0.593 and the L/V ratio was 0.2325.
