Secretory groups are as defined in Table 1 legend.
Location, size and extent of tumor are based on operative findings.
Other primary locations include lymph node (n=22), ovary (n=1), liver (n=2), and omentum (n=1).
Diameter of largest tumor seen at surgery.
Extent is defined as >primary only= if only a primary tumor is removed and the patient was cured.
Number and percent are as defined in Table 1 legend.
