Abbreviation: AWD, alive with disease; DOD, died of disease; DOO, died of other causes; NA, not applicable; NED, no evidence of disease.
Stages for synchronous multicentric tumors were defined by the worst T factors and the N factors.
Stages for metachronous tumors were assigned to each timing.
Not applicable because there was no recurrence (MPKO01) or distant metastasis (MPKO04).
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.
