Fig 3 Actuarial survival based on the extent of lymph node involvement, classified by the number of involved nodes (A) and the lymph node ratio (B) by hematoxylin & eosin (H&E) examination (χ2 = 30.8; p < and χ2 = 24.5; p < , respectively). The Annals of Thoracic Surgery , DOI: ( /j.athoracsur )

Fig 4 Actuarial survival based on the presence or absence of lymph node metastases by immunohistochemistry (IHC) examination (χ2 = 0.48; p = 0.49). The Annals of Thoracic Surgery , DOI: ( /j.athoracsur )

Fig 5 Actuarial survival in patients with limited lymph node involvement by hematoxylin & eosin (H&E) examination (ratio of involved nodes, < 10%) for patients with a combined node ratio of less than 10% and for a combined node ratio more than 10% (χ2 = 4.66; p = 0.03). (IHC = immunohistochemistry.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery , DOI: ( /j.athoracsur )
