Fig 2 Growth patterns of non-small cell lung cancer on a routine hematoxylin and eosin–stained and on CD34-Ki-67 double immunostained tissue sections. Destructive growth pattern (angiogenic): parenchymal structures of the lung are not preserved, but replaced by carcinoma cells and tumor-associated stroma (A) with formation of new blood vessels (B [arrow]). Papillary growth pattern (intermediate): the lung parenchyma has been preserved with formation of fibrovascular stalks originating from the alveolar septa (C) with formation of new blood vessels (D [arrow]). Alveolar growth pattern (nonangiogenic): the tumor cell nests fill the alveolar spaces with preservation of alveolar septa (E) and with cooption of alveolar blood vessels (F [arrow]) without formation of a tumor-associated stroma.

Fig 3 (A) Growth pattern and stage IA. Overall survival according to growth pattern for patients in stage IA (destructive versus papillary growth pattern, p = 0.038, and destructive versus alveolar growth pattern, p = 0.788). (B) Growth pattern and stage IB. Overall survival according to growth pattern for patients in stage IB (destructive versus papillary growth pattern, p = 0.250, and destructive versus alveolar growth pattern, p = 0.008).
