Mortality Status. Kaplan Meier survival curves for patient groups partitioned based on C_MASS status (solid blue = C_NEO, dotted blue = C_NEO control; solid red = C_THR, dotted line = C_THR control): For both C_NEO and C_THR, controls were matched for primary cancer type and stage. Note higher mortality among patients with C_NEO vs. C_THR (p = 0.002); C_THR conferred similar mortality risk compared to respective cancer-matched controls whereas mortality associated with C_NEO was slightly higher albeit non-significant
