(A) Cumulative cancer-specific survival in presence (black line, 54 patients) and absence (gray line, 140 patients) of Barrett's intestinal metaplasia groups (log-rank Mantel-Cox p = 0.679). (B) Cumulative cancer-specific survival by the presence or absence of Barrett's intestinal metaplasia (BIM) and gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM). BIM+/GIM– group, black line (52 patients); BIM–/GIM+ group, light gray line (50 patients); and BIM–/GIM– group, dark gray line (90 patients). Log-rank (Mantel-Cox), p = 0.460, BIM+/GIM– versus BIM–/GIM–; p = 0.846, BIM+/GIM– versus BIM–/GIM+; p = 0.289, BIM–/GIM– versus BIM–/GIM+.
