Abbreviation: AWD, alive with disease; DOD, died of disease; DOO, died of other causes; NA, not applicable; NED, no evidence of disease.

a

Stages for synchronous multicentric tumors were defined by the worst T factors and the N factors.

b

Stages for metachronous tumors were assigned to each timing.

c

Not applicable because there was no recurrence (MPKO01) or distant metastasis (MPKO04).

d

Survival time was defined as the period from the date of surgery that showed multiple pancreatic cancers to event (death or recurrence) or to the end of follow up.
