Figure 7 [Section 3.3] Survival of patients with stage IIIA (N2) lung cancer treated with CT/RT or CT/RT/S from the North American Intergroup Study 0139.65 A, Progression-free survival. B, Overall survival. The initial steeper slope of the trimodality arm demonstrates the importance of the perioperative mortality rate on the overall results of trimodality therapy. CT/RT = chemotherapy and radiotherapy; CT/RT/S = chemotherapy and radiotherapy followed by surgery.
