TRIANGLE operation, combined with adequate adjuvant chemotherapy, can improve the prognosis of pancreatic head cancer: A retrospective study

Figure 5 Kaplan-Meier curves of both groups. A: Kaplan-Meier curve of recurrence-free survival (RFS) between the Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD)_TRIANGLE and PD_non-TRIANGLE groups. The median RFS was notably longer in the PD_TRIANGLE group at 30.0 months than in the PD_non-TRIANGLE group at 12.6 months (P < 0.001); B: Kaplan-Meier curve of overall survival (OS) between the PD_TRIANGLE and PD_non-TRIANGLE groups. The median OS was significantly better in the PD_TRIANGLE group than in the PD_non-TRIANGLE group (44.1 months vs 28.3 months, P = 0.029). PD: Pancreaticoduodenectomy; RFS: Recurrence-free survival.
