difference in complication rates between the groups (p = 0.465) and there was no peri-operative mortality. Hospital stay was shorter in the PVE group (7.84 VS 8.95 d, p = 0.038). 5-year overall survival rate and disease free survival rate were similar between groups (53.2% VS 54.4%; p = 0.999 and 38.3% VS 40.6%; p = 0.823) Median overall survival and disease free survival were 65.4 months and 33.6 months respectively, with a median overall follow-up of 39.3 months. Conclusion:Our results showed similar survival whether PVE was used or not. Hence, PVE offers a chance for cure for patients who could not be operated upfront. Moreover, PVE patients seem to have the same prognosis even with a larger extent of disease.
