The stage of the tumor (III vs. IV) was significantly associated with patients OS (p-value= 0.004). However, there were only 5 patients in the stage IV group and none of the patients were in the long survival category. Age of the patients at the time of diagnosis was not significantly associated with OS (p-values= 0.68).
