Abstract
Regional recurrence is the most common relapse pattern but local and distant relapse are also common. Advanced Masaoka stage, larger tumor size, and type B3 are risk factors of recurrence. Lung relapse should be considered distant relapse. Further, tumor size was correlated with Masaoka stage and therefore should be considered in the staging system.
