Fig 2 Analysis of recurrences (diamonds) based on tumor size and surgical margin. The diagonal line represents a surgical margin/tumor size ratio of 1 over the range of tumors encountered. Note that the significant majority of recurrences (23/27 = 85%) are seen when the margin/tumor ratio is less than 1.
