1 Visceral pleural involvement in nonsmall cell lung cancer: prognostic significance 
Toshihiro Osaki, MD, PhD, Akira Nagashima, MD, PhD, Takashi Yoshimatsu, MD, PhD, Sosuke Yamada, MD, Kosei Yasumoto, MD, PhD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 77, Issue 5, Pages (May 2004) DOI: /j.athoracsur

2 Fig 1 (A) Elastic stain of a p1 status tumor. The tumor cells extend beyond the elastic layer (arrow) of the visceral pleura, but are not exposed on the pleural surface (original magnification, ×200). (B) Elastic stain of a p0 status tumor. The tumor cells do not extend beyond the elastic layer (arrow) of the visceral pleura (original magnification, ×200). The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.athoracsur )

3 Fig 2 Survival curves according to the degree of visceral pleural involvement. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.athoracsur )
