  1. Significant P values shown in bold
  2. MPM, malignant peritoneal mesothelioma; CSS, cancer-specific survival
  3. arefers to the comparison of overall CSS until the end of follow up; “–” refers that the number of people in the corresponding group was less than 50 and survival rates were not counted
