3 Fig 2 Median cumulative (Cum) survival of patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy (20 months) was double that of patients who did not (9.5 months, p = 0.417). Blue line indicates neoadjuvant chemotherapy; green line indicates no chemotherapy; blue hatchmarks indicate chemotherapy censored data; green hatchmarks indicate no-chemotherapy censored data.

4 Fig 3 Patients with negative surgical margins (R0 resection) had a significantly longer median cumulative (Cum) overall survival (53.5 months) than patients who had positive margins (9.5 months, p = 0.004). Blue line indicates negative margins; green line indicates positive margins; blue hatchmarks indicate negative-margin censored data; green hatchmarks indicate positive-margin censored data.
