FIGURE 1 Overall survival (OS) for the entire cohort. N = 39 patients, 25 deaths. Median OS time = 31.1 months (95% confidence interval [CI] = 18.5–59.4). Four-year OS = 40.9% (95% CI = 25.5–55.7%).

FIGURE 2 Disease-free survival (DFS) for the entire cohort. N = 39 patients, 28 recurrences or deaths. Median DFS = 24.0 months (95% confidence interval [CI] = 13.0–37.7 months). Four-year DFS = 30.3% (95% CI = 16.7–45.0%).

FIGURE 3 Overall survival (OS) comparison between expressors and nonexpressors of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2. No expression: N = 14 patients, 11 deaths. Median OS time = 26.2 months (95% confidence interval [CI] = 12.1–43.7). Four-year OS = 21.4% (95% CI = 5.2–44.8%). Expression: N = 21 patients, 12 deaths. Median OS time = 38.1 months (95% CI = 17.0, not estimated). Four-year OS = 47.6% (95% CI = 25.7–66.7%).
