  1. Undifferentiated carcinomas (UDC) occurred in an older age group than all other categories [p ≤ 0.0002(*)]. By AJCC definition, UDC cases are considered pT4 tumors (#). The mean of ages among different groups was compared using two-tailed t test. Differences between the gender distributions of cases were analyzed by Fischer’s exact test
