Survival: Overall and Disease-related.

	% Survival [95 % CI]⁽¹⁾
A. Imaging Negative (n=58) (⁽²⁾,⁽⁴⁾)	5 yrs	10yrs	20 yrs
Total survival	90 [78-96]	82 [68-91]	71 [51-83]
Disease-related survival	98 [83-99]	93 [79-98]	88 [71-96]
B. Imaging positive (n=117) (⁽³⁾,⁽⁴⁾)
Total survival	86 [77-91]	74 [64-81]	58 [46-68]
Disease-related survival	91 [84-95]	85 [76-91]	73 [58-83]

⁽¹⁾

Percentage survival from surgery calculated from data from 58 patients with negative imaging preoperatively and 117 patients with positive imaging from survival curves shown in Fig. 2.

⁽²⁾

For the Imaging Negative patients during the followup (9.5 ± 0.72 [range-0.1-21.8 yrs] from surgery, 11 patients died from any cause (overall survival)(Fig.1) and 4 died from a Disease-related cause (Fig. 1).

⁽³⁾

For the Imaging Positive patients during the followup (11.6 ± 0.6 [range-0.1-28.1 yrs] from surgery, 38 patients died from any cause (overall survival)(Fig.1) and 20 died from a Disease-related cause (Fig. 1).

⁽⁴⁾

The differences between the Overall survival and Disease-related survival were not significant (p=0.069, HR-2.56, 95 CI-0.92-7.1) for theImage Negative patients. Howcver, they were significantly (p=0.015, HR-1.93, 95 CI-1.14-3.2) different from the Image positive patients
