Figure 2 Kaplan-Meier analysis (log-rank test) for probability of freedom from recurrence in patients of resected node-negative lung adenocarcinoma 3 cm or smaller (A and B) or 2 cm or smaller (C and D). (A) Probability of freedom from recurrence according to predominant pattern group (lepidic/acinar/papillary versus micropapillary/solid predominant). (B) The patients were divided into three groups according to number of positive risk predictors (tumor >2 but ≤3 cm and micropapillary/solid predominant pattern): no or one positive risk predictor (group 1), and two positive risk predictors (group 2). Patients with both positive risk predictors had significantly higher probability of recurrence. (C) Probability of freedom from recurrence according to presence of solid pattern. (D) The patients were divided into two groups according to number of positive risk predictors (tumor >1 cm but ≤2 cm and presence of solid pattern): no or one positive risk predictor (group 1), and two positive risk predictors (group 2). Patients with both positive risk predictors had a significantly higher probability of recurrence.
