Figure 2
(a) Overall survival rates were compared between the patients with type G and Ge tumors. In patients with pT1–4 tumors, although not significantly, the type G tumor group had a higher survival rate than the type Ge tumor group (). (b) Type Ge tumor group was staged by both esophageal and gastric cancer staging manuals. In stages I-II patients, type G tumor group had higher survival rate; however, there was no significance (). Although there was no significant difference, survival rate of type Ge tumor group staged by gastric cancer staging manual was superior to those staged by esophageal cancer staging manual. In stages III-IV patients, three patient groups (type G tumor group, type Ge tumor group staged by esophageal cancer staging manual and type Ge tumor group staged by gastric cancer staging manual) had similar survival curves ().
