Fig 1 Estimated survival (death due to any cause) of 70 patients undergoing pulmonary metastasectomy and complete mediastinal lymph node dissection. Zero time on the abscissa is date of first pulmonary metastasectomy and lymph node dissection. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2004 77, 1786-1791DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(03)01200-1)
