A total of 505 patients (68.1%) received radiotherapy only, while 237 (31.9%) underwent surgery-only treatment for EMP. All included patients had an initial diagnosis of EMP without MM. Comparable trends were observed in overall survival and disease-free survival (DFS) rates at 2, 3, 5, and 10 years between patients with EMP treated with radiotherapy only and surgery only. Notably, there were no significant differences in recurrence rate (odds ratio, 0.65; 95% CI, 0.20-2.06) between radiotherapy-only and surgery-only treatment. However, radiotherapy-only treatment of EMP was associated with decreased odds of progression to MM compared with surgery (odds ratio, 0.4; 95% CI, 0.1-0.9).
