Radical resection and outcome for malignant tumors of the pancreatic body and tail

Table 3 The relationship between surgical radicality and survival n (%)

Surgical radicality	Cases with follow-up	1-yr survival	3-yr survival	5-yr survival
R0 resection (n = 49)	47	26 (55.3)b	15 (31.9)b	5 (10.6)b
R1 + R2 (palliative) resection (n = 22)	21	2 (9.5)b	0	0
Bypass or laparotomy (n = 49)	48	6 (12.5)b	0	0
Non-surgical treatment (n = 94)	81	1 (1.2)b	0	0
Total (n = 214)	197	25 (12.7)	15 (7.6)	5 (2.5)

^bP < 0.01 vs non-R0 resection, the 1-, 3- and 5-year survival rates were significantly longer.
