  1. The anti-inflammatory drug is nonsteroidal. One-way ANOVA is used for continuous variables. Fisher’s exact test is a default test for comparing categorical variables unless specified otherwise. $ indicates that the variable is unsuitable for Fisher’s exact test and applied to chi-square test. Lym. Inv., lymphatic invasion; MSI, microsatellite instability
