(a) Cumulative survival rates according to the depth of invasion (pT). As for pMP and pSS, there was no difference between T group and ST group, but the survival of the T group with pSE was better than that of ST group with pSE (). (b) Cumulative survival rates according to lymph node metastasis (pN). There was no difference in the cumulative survival rates between two groups with pN0 and pN1, but the survival of T group with pN2 was better than that of ST group with pN2 (). (c) Cumulative survival curves according to stage (pStage). There was no significant difference in the cumulative survival rates between two groups with Stage II, Stage IIIA, and Stage IIIB.
