The median time to detection of secondary lesions was 18\u00a0months. Secondary lesions were smaller (&lt;\u200920\u00a0mm: 88% vs. 44%) and shallower (epithelial\/lamina propria mucosa: 89% vs. 74%) than initial lesions. Multivariate analysis revealed that tumor size\u2009&lt;\u200920\u00a0mm (odds ratio 0.12, 95% confidence interval 0.06\u20130.23) and epithelial\/lamina propria mucosa invasion depth (odds ratio 0.37, 95% confidence interval 0.17\u20130.84) were independently associated with secondary lesions.
