Sensitivity analyses IPTW-adjusted overall and RCC-specific survival at 1, 3, and 5 years, by treatment type in histologically-confirmed patients

Notes:
-First two columns give survival probabilities for PA-PN matched cohorts; second two columns give survival probabilities for PA-RN matched cohorts.
-Survival probabilities generated from an Inverse Probability of Treatment-Weighted (IPTW) Cox model with a time-dependent treatment variable
-Results are essentially the same as those from primary analysis
-RCC, renal cell carcinoma; RSS, RCC-specific survival; OS, overall survival; PA, percutaneous ablation; PN, partial nephrectomy; RN, radical nephrectomy
