Fig. 2From: Long-term outcomes after surgical resection in patients with stage IV colorectal cancer: a retrospective study of 129 patients at a single institutionComparison of 5-year overall survival between patients with R0 resection and palliative resection. Patients with R0 resection (n = 26) showed statistically significant better survival than that of the palliative resection (n = 100) by Kaplan-Meier survival method and log-rank test (5-year OS: R0 resection vs. palliative resection = 55.6% vs. 9.2%, P < 0.001)Back to article page
