Abstract: ratio [HR]1.19,p<0.01 ), but this association was not statistically significant in multivariable analysis.At 5-years post-surgery, overall survival in the PN group was 75% vs. 68% in the RN group.(p<0.001)(Figure 1 ).Compared with PN, RN was associated with an increased risk of death from any cause (HR 1.29, p<0.001 ), controlling for age, sex, race, marital status, general comorbidity and pre-existing CV disease.CONCLUSIONS: In this population-based cohort, RN was associated with a significantly increased risk of overall mortality and a trend towards increased CV events.Because patients with small, curable RTs undergoing RN are at increased risk for significant long-term morbidity and mortality, RN should be avoided in these patients when possible.
