Tumours by stage were represented as follows: stage 1 (n=59; 27.1%), stage 2 (n=37; 17.0%), stage 3 (n=75; 34.4%) and stage 4 (n=46; 21.1%). One patient was unstaged and demised shortly after presentation. Stage was highly predictive of outcome on both univariate (p<0.001) and multi-variate analysis, especially for patients with stage 3 (p=0.017) and stage 4 (p<0.001) disease (TABLE 2).
