Figure 1 Kaplan–Meier curves for disease-free survival and overall survival rates between patients with submucosal colon and rectal cancer, respectively, in the low-risk endoscopic resection group. (A) The Kaplan–Meier curve for disease-free survival rates shows no significant differences between the patients with submucosal colon and rectal cancer (5-year disease-free survival rate: submucosal colon cancer, 95.9%; submucosal rectal cancer, 90.0%; P = .60). (B) The Kaplan–Meier curve for overall survival rates shows no significant differences between the patients with submucosal colon and rectal cancer (5-year overall survival rate: submucosal colon cancer, 95.9%; submucosal rectal cancer, 88.9%; P = .62).

Figure 2 Kaplan–Meier curves for disease-free survival and overall survival rates between patients with submucosal colon and rectal cancer, respectively, in the high-risk endoscopic resection group. (A) The Kaplan–Meier curve for disease-free survival rates shows a significant difference between the patients with submucosal colon and rectal cancer (5-year disease-free survival rate: submucosal colon cancer, 96.5%; submucosal rectal cancer, 77.7%; P < .01). (B) The Kaplan–Meier curve for overall survival rates does not show a significant difference between the patients with submucosal colon and rectal cancer (5-year overall survival rate: submucosal colon cancer, 98.3%; submucosal rectal cancer, 96.2%; P = .30).

Figure 3 Kaplan–Meier curves for disease-free survival and overall survival rates between patients with submucosal colon and rectal cancer, respectively, in the high-risk surgical resection group. (A) The Kaplan–Meier curve for disease-free survival rates shows no significant difference between the patients with submucosal colon and rectal cancer (5-year disease-free survival rate: submucosal colon cancer, 97.3%; submucosal rectal cancer, 95.0%; P = .17). (B) The Kaplan–Meier curve for overall survival rates shows no significant difference between the patients with submucosal colon and rectal cancer (5-year overall survival rate: submucosal colon cancer, 99.1%; submucosal rectal cancer, 97.3%; P = .11).
