Figure 8

Kaplan-Meier curve of disease-free survival (DFS) () and overall survival (OS) () stratified by number of resected metastatic lesions. Median DFS and OS for patients with 1 metastasis were 21.6 months (95% CI 15.2–28.7) and 64.7 months (95% CI 43.7–77.2), respectively, versus 14.4 (95% CI 7.3–23.5) and 62.7 months (95% CI 21.7–NE), respectively, for those with 2 or 3 metastases versus 5.7 (95% CI 1.9–8.5) and 27.1 months (95% CI 13.9–38.1), respectively, for patients with 4 or more metastases. NE = not evaluable.
