Prognosis and survival after resection for bronchogenic carcinoma based on the 1997 TNM-staging classification: the Japanese experience Tsuguo Naruke, MD, Ryosuke Tsuchiya, MD, Haruhiko Kondo, MD, Hisao Asamura, MD The Annals of Thoracic Surgery Volume 71, Issue 6, Pages 1759-1764 (June 2001) DOI: 10.1016/S0003-4975(00)02609-6
Fig 1 Survival rates for 2,819 patients M0 group after resection of lung cancer according to pathological T (includes 3 patients with TX and 9 patients with T0). Differences between groups: T1 versus T2, p < 0.01; T2 versus T3, p < 0.01; T3 versus T4, p < 0.01. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2001 71, 1759-1764DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(00)02609-6)
Fig 2 Survival rates for 2,819 patients M0 group after resection of lung cancer, according to pathological N. Differences between groups: N0 versus N1, p < 0.01; N1 versus N2, p < 0.01; N2 versus N3, p < 0.01. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2001 71, 1759-1764DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(00)02609-6)
Fig 3 Survival rates for 3,043 patients after resection of lung cancer according to postoperative stage (includes 1 patient with occult carcinoma and 6 patients with stage 0). Differences between groups: stage IA versus stage IB, p < 0.01; stage IB versus stage IIA, not significant; stage IIA versus stage IIB, p < 0.01; stage IIB versus stage IIIA, p < 0.01; stage IIIA versus stage IIIB, p < 0.01; stage IIIB versus stage IV, p < 0.01.

Fig 4 Survival rates for 3,043 patients after resection of lung cancer according to clinical stage (includes 3 patients with occult carcinoma). Differences between groups: stage IA versus stage IB, p < 0.01; stage IB versus stage IIA, NS; stage IIA versus stage IIB, NS; stage IIB versus stage IIIA, p < 0.01; stage IIIA versus stage IIIB, p < 0.01; stage IIIB versus stage IV, NS. (NS = not significant.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2001 71, 1759-1764DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(00)02609-6)
Fig 5 Survival rates for 3,043 patients after resection of lung cancer according to satellite nodule(s). Differences between groups: pm0 versus pm1, pm1 versus pm2, p < 0.01. (pm0 = no separate tumor nodule(s); pm1 = separate tumor nodule(s) in same lobe; pm2 = separate tumor nodule(s) in different lobe.)
