Surgical treatment of non-small cell lung cancer 1 cm or less in diameter Daniel L Miller, MD, Charles M Rowland, MS, Claude Deschamps, MD, Mark S Allen, MD, Victor F Trastek, MD, Peter C Pairolero, MD The Annals of Thoracic Surgery Volume 73, Issue 5, Pages 1545-1551 (May 2002) DOI: 10.1016/S0003-4975(02)03525-7
Fig 1 Probability of survival (death from any cause and death from lung cancer) in 100 patients who underwent resection of a non–small cell lung cancer 1 cm or less in diameter; 34 patients alive at 5 years. Zero time on the abscissa represents the date of thoracotomy. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2002 73, 1545-1551DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(02)03525-7)
Fig 2 Probability of survival (death from any cause) in 75 patients who underwent formal resection as compared with the 25 patients who underwent limited resection; 31 and 3 patients alive at 5 years for the formal resection and the limited resection groups, respectively (p = 0.03). Zero time on the abscissa represents the date of thoracotomy. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2002 73, 1545-1551DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(02)03525-7)
Fig 3 Probability of survival (death from any cause) in 75 patients who underwent lobectomy compared with 12 patients who had segmentectomy and 13 patients who had wedge excision of a non–small cell lung cancer 1 cm or less in diameter; 31, 1, and 2 patients alive at 5 years for patients undergoing lobectomy, segmentectomy, and wedge resection, respectively (p = 0.03). Zero time on the abscissa represents the date of thoracotomy. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2002 73, 1545-1551DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(02)03525-7)
Fig 4 Probability of survival (death from lung cancer) in 75 patients who underwent lobectomy compared with 12 patients who had segmentectomy and 13 patients who had wedge excision of a non–small cell lung cancer 1 cm or less in diameter; 31, 1, and 2 patients alive at 5 years for patients undergoing lobectomy, segmentectomy, and wedge resection, respectively (p = 0.04). Zero time on the abscissa represents the date of thoracotomy. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2002 73, 1545-1551DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(02)03525-7)
Fig 5 Probability of survival (death from any cause) in 93 patients without lymph node metastases as compared with the 7 patients who had lymph node metastases; 31 and 3 patients alive at 5 years for patients with negative and positive lymph nodes, respectively (p = 0.15). Zero time on the abscissa represents the date of thoracotomy. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2002 73, 1545-1551DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(02)03525-7)
Fig 6 Probability of survival (death from lung cancer) in 93 patients without lymph node metastases as compared with the 7 patients who had lymph node metastases; 31 and 3 patients alive at 5 years for patients with negative and positive lymph nodes, respectively (p = 0.08). Zero time on the abscissa represents the date of thoracotomy. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2002 73, 1545-1551DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(02)03525-7)
