Figure 3. Resection rates of primary tumors in the JPLT-1 and JPLT-2 trials. The resection rate of primary tumors was 86.4% in JPLT-2 vs. 71.6% in JPLT-1 (chi-square = 13.743, P = 0.0002). The resection rate was significantly higher in JPLT-2 than JPLT-1. The resection rate of the patients without distant metastasis was 90.7% in JPLT-2, which was a significant improvement compared with the rate in JPLT-1 (81.4%). In particular, the resectability of non-metastatic PRETEXT IV tumors was significantly improved in JPLT-2 compared with JPLT-1 (73.2% vs. 40.0%).
