Fig 2 Freedom from locoregional failure in patients with defined N1 nodal stations (green line) analyzed versus unspecified nodal stations, namely, “peribronchial lymph nodes” (blue line). All patients had pathologic stage Ia lung cancer. Data from patients with pathologic T1N1 disease (orange line) are presented for comparison. The data for pT1 N1 patients were obtained through a similar review of the UNC surgical patients contemporaneous with the 119 patients who are the focus of this report.
