Fig 1 (a) Cause-specific survival rates as a function of tumor depth in 137 patients who underwent primary surgical resection for submucosal (SM) thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. (b) Overall survival rates as a function of tumor depth in 137 patients who underwent primary surgical resection for submucosal thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The SM3 carcinoma (broken lines) had a poorer outcome than SM1 (dotted lines) or SM2 (solid lines) carcinoma (p = 0.003).
