Impact of the site of tumor recurrence on OS after colon cancer recurrence was determined using a landmark analysis. A Cox model, stratified by study, was used to estimate the effect for each site of tumor recurrence. CI = confidence interval; HR = hazard ratio.

P value was calculated using a two-sided score test.

P values were calculated using a two-sided Wald χ2 test.
