Stenting as a bridge to surgery in obstructing colon cancer: Long-term recurrence pattern and competing risk of mortality

Figure 1 Metastases status and recurrence pattern. A: Percentages of metastases status; B: Recurrence pattern; C: Peritoneal involvement in 62 patients after endoscopic stenting followed by curative resection.

Figure 2 Kaplan-Meier survival curves. A: Overall survival; B: Cancer-specific survival in 62 patients after endoscopic stenting followed by curative resection. CRC: Colorectal cancer; OS: Overall survival; CSS: Cancer-specific survival; CI: Confidence interval.

Figure 3 Cumulative incidence function curves. Cumulative incidence of time to death for colorectal cancer (CRC)-specific death and other cause-specific death in 62 patients after endoscopic stenting followed by curative resection. The red curve indicates CRC-specific death, and the blue curve shows other cause-specific death. CRC: Colorectal cancer.
