Updated 2026-09-25 · reconstructed by TrialCurve from a CC BY-licensed publication

Efficacy and safety of intraoperative hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy for locally advanced colorectal cancer (HIPECT4): final analysis of randomized clinical trial. Curves rebuilt as patient-level data (Guyot 2012) and checked against the statistics printed on the figure.

Locoregional control

From figure panel · curves cross-checked by two independent readings · curve source: pixel measurement confirmed by vision model

Reconstructed from the published curve. Median: HIPEC not reached; Surgery only not reached. Survival at 12 months: HIPEC 100%; Surgery only 95%. Hazard ratio HIPEC vs Surgery only 0.19 (95% CI 0.04–0.86).
