Fig 1 Postoperative survival curves according to the types of surgery (standard surgery or sublobar resection) with 95% confidence intervals at 3, 5, and 10 years after surgery. (A) The overall survival of the overall cohort (all ages); (B) the relative survival of the younger patients (<75 years); and (C) the relative survival of the elderly patients (≥75 years).
