(1)

Secretory groups are as defined in Table 1 legend.

(2)

Location, size and extent of tumor are based on operative findings.

(3)

Other primary locations include lymph node (n=22), ovary (n=1), liver (n=2), and omentum (n=1).

(4)

Diameter of largest tumor seen at surgery.

(5)

Extent is defined as >primary only= if only a primary tumor is removed and the patient was cured.
