Fig 1 (A) Overall survival outcome (p = 0.69) and (B) recurrence-free probability (p = 0.033) after resection of malignant sternal tumor, according to tumor type. (black line = benign; red line = breast cancer; green line = primary tumor; blue line = secondary tumor.)

Fig 2 (A) Overall survival outcome (p < 0.001) and (B) recurrence-free probability (p = 0.001) after resection for primary malignant tumor, as a function of completeness of resection.
