FIGURE 4 Kaplan-Meier curves of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in the patient series after immunohistochemical subtyping: (A) PFS and OS of the three separate groups; (B) all ADC, morphologically and immunohistochemically (m + f) defined were grouped together and compared with the group of NSCLC null phenotype. ADC, adenocarcinoma; NSCLC, non–small-cell lung cancer; NOS, not otherwise specified.
