In univariate analyses, OS was influenced by sex, complete response and margin involvement (Table 4) but, as in CSS, margin involvement was the only factor that remained significant after multivariate analyses. Figure 1 shows 5-year OS after multivariate analyses, i.e., 10.3 percent after anR+ resection comparedwith66.8percent after an R0 resection (P = 0.011). Figure 1.
