Fig 1 Tumor-specific survival was 87%, 65%, and 55% after 1, 2, and 3 years, respectively. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2015 99, 983-989DOI: (10.1016/j.athoracsur.2014.10.015) Copyright © 2015 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions
Fig 2 (A) Higher stage of disease and (B) advanced nodal status had a significant influence on tumor-specific survival. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2015 99, 983-989DOI: (10.1016/j.athoracsur.2014.10.015) Copyright © 2015 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions
Fig 3 Immunohistochemical analysis. Overall survival was not significantly influenced by single expression of (A) CD56 (p < 0.29), (B) chromogranin-A (CGA) (p < 0.42), (C) neuronal specific enolase (NSE) (p < 0.46), or (D) synaptophysin (SYN) (p < 0.45).

Fig 4 Simultaneous expression of both CD56 and chromogranin-A (CGA) (p = 0.04) or one of each (p < 0.013) was associated with poorer outcome and higher risk of recurrence.
