TFS according to the STAT3 mutation status, serum LDH levels and serum β2-MG levels determined at diagnosis. Low LDH group: <250 U/L, and high LDH group: >250 U/L. Low β2-MG group: <3.0 mg/L, and high β2-MG group: >3.0 mg/L. Analysis identified that the shorter TFS in the STAT3 mutation group (A) and high β2-MG group (C), but TFS was not related to LDH levels (B).
