2. Fig 1
Location of lymph node metastases by nodal station for right-sided (A) (n = 54) and left-sided (B) (n = 55) resections. The nomenclature for lymph node stations is that used for non-small cell lung cancer [10] and esophageal cancer [11]. Most patients who had lymph node metastases had more than one nodal station involved, so the number of metastatic sites exceeds the number of resections.

3. Fig 2
The relationship between tumor T status and overall survival by univariate analysis. When considered across all four categories, T status had a highly significant effect on survival (p < 0.01).

4. Fig 3
Univariate analysis of the relationship between the number of positive lymph nodes and overall survival. Patients who had four or more positive nodes had a significantly worse survival (p < 0.01).

5. Fig 4
Overall survival of all 231 patients by stage. When analyzed across all four categories, stage had a highly significant effect on survival (p < 0.01).

6. Fig 5
Comparison of the overall survival rates of patients who received adjuvant therapy versus those who did not, showing that adjuvant therapy was associated with a significantly better outcome (p < 0.01).

7. Fig 6
Overall survival analyzed according to the type of surgical procedure performed. There was no significant difference between patients who had all gross tumor removed via extrapleural pneumonectomy versus pleurectomy/decortication.
