• Provides real-world evidence supporting a wait-and-see initial strategy for DTF, particularly in unfavorable anatomic locations where upfront surgery performed worse. • Identifies tumor location as a simple, readily available parameter that could help stratify patients toward observation versus surgery, rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all resection approach. • Reinforces the shift away from routine large en bloc resection as first-line treatment, informing shared decision-making discussions with patients about the risks and benefits of early surgery.
