We reviewed 242 cases of @entity320 that were treated by enucleation to determine the importance of juxtapapillary location as a prognostic factor for @entity5 -related @entity204 . Analysis involved Kaplan-Meier survival curves and Cox proportional hazards analysis. @entity1 with @entity5 had a worse prognosis than those with @entity5 in other locations (64% vs 78% five-year survival), but the difference was not statistically significant. Juxtapapillary location was not an independent risk factor on Cox multivariate analysis. Risk factors included number of epithelioid cells per high-power field, largest @entity5 dimension, location of the @entity5 's anterior margin, and invasion to the line of transection. In 63 cases (26%), the @entity5 was in contact with the optic disc. For these @entity5 , we also evaluated the prognostic importance of six variables relevant to juxtapapillary location. On univariate analysis, @entity5 height at the disc margin, subarachnoid space invasion, and postlaminar optic nerve invasion were significantly related to survival, while disc compression by @entity5 , prelaminar optic nerve invasion, and extent of disc perimeter surrounded by @entity5 were not. On Cox multivariate analysis, however, none of these six variables was an independent risk factor. Risk factors for @entity5 included number of epithelioid cells per high-power field and location of the @entity5 's anterior margin.
