Fig 1 The Masaoka staging of thymic carcinoma was significantly associated with (A) a better recurrence-free survival but not (B) overall survival. Likewise, the presence of superior vena cava (SVC) invasion predicted significantly better (C) recurrence-free survival, but not (D) overall survival. (CI = confidence interval.)
