Kaplan–Meier analysis of OS (a) and DFS (b) in the synchronous, metachronous, and conversion groups. OS in the conversion group was not significantly different from that in the other groups. OS was significantly higher in the metachronous group than that in the metachronous group (p = 0.010; Fig. 2a). DFS in the conversion group was significantly shorter than that in the synchronous group (p = 0.0171). Median DFS was 19.1, 16.6, and 15.0 months in the synchronous, metachronous, and conversion groups, respectively. OS overall survival, DFS disease-free survival, n.s. not significant
