Fig 1 Complete stable remission (CSR) is shown for the total cohort, with vertical ticks designating censored patients. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2009 88, 1638-1645DOI: (10.1016/j.athoracsur.2009.07.036) Copyright © 2009 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

Fig 2 Complete stable remission (CSR) is shown in thymoma patients (dashed line) compared with nonthymoma patients (solid line). Censored thymoma patients are designated by vertical ticks and censored nonthymoma patients by triangles.

Fig 3 The effect of steroid treatment (dashed line) and no steroid treatment (solid line) is shown on complete stable remission (CSR). Steroid-censored patients are designated by vertical ticks and nonsteroid-censored patients by triangles.

Fig 5 Effect of preoperative steroids (dashed line) compared with no steroids (solid line) is shown on the complete stable remission (CSR) prediction in thymoma patients. Steroid-censored patients are designated by vertical ticks and nonsteroid-censored patients by triangles.
