Note. LRFR = 2-year local recurrence-free rate; LR = local recurrence; HR = hazard ratio; CI = confidence interval. Close margins = negative margins ≤0.1 cm; ∗∗the Kaplan–Meier log-ranked test was used to assess statistical significance; †re-resections were done intraoperatively due to positive intraoperative pathology report; ˆre-resections were done postopearatively due to positive final pathology report.
