| First recurrence site | SBRT (n = 57) | 3D/IMRT (n = 47) | P value* |
|---|---|---|---|
| Local-regional | |||
| Tumor | 15 (26.3) | 14 (29.8) | .69 |
| Regional lymph node | 4 (7.0) | 5 (10.6) | .51 |
| Distant | |||
| Liver | 16 (28.1) | 10 (21.3) | .43 |
| Lungs | 13 (22.8) | 10 (21.3) | .85 |
| Peritoneal | 7 (12.3) | 11 (23.4) | .14 |
Abbreviations: 3D = 3-dimensional radiation therapy; IMRT = intensity-modulated radiation therapy; SBRT = stereotactic body radiation therapy.
The P values were calculated using Pearson χ2 method. Values are for frequency (percentage).
