1 Completely Resected Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: Reconsidering Prognostic Value and Significance of N2 Metastases  Marc Riquet, MD, PhD, Patrick Bagan, PMD, Françoise Le Pimpec Barthes, MD, Eugeniu Banu, MD, Florian Scotte, MD, Christophe Foucault, MD, Antoine Dujon, MD, Claire Danel, MD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 84, Issue 6, Pages (December 2007) DOI: /j.athoracsur Copyright © 2007 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 Five-year and 10-year survival rates of single N2 patients (curve 1) and multiple N2 patients (curve 2). Survival difference were similar when postoperative and cancer-unrelated deaths were excluded: single N2 (n = 305), 32.2% (median, 28 months); multiple N2 (n = 167), 19% (median, 17 months; p = ) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.athoracsur ) Copyright © 2007 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

3 Fig 2 Five-year survival rates according to the size of lymph nodes. Nonbulky N2 (curve 2) demonstrated the best prognosis with a 5-year overall survival of 34% (median, 28 months). Micrometastases (curve 1) and bulky metastases (curve 3) demonstrated similar 5-year survival rates: 21.4% (median, 23 months) and 23% (median, 23 months), respectively. Difference between curve 2 and 3 was significant (p = 0.026). The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.athoracsur ) Copyright © 2007 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

4 Fig 3 Five-year survival rates according to the size of lymph node metastases when cancer-unrelated causes of death (postoperative and known medical causes) were excluded. Differences between the three subgroups were not significant: 5-year overall survival (median) were 24.4% (24 months), 40.1% (35 months), and 26.1% (24 months), respectively; the difference between G2 and G3 was significant (p = 0.03).

5 Fig 4 Five-year survival rates when only one lymph node was metastatic within the station: survival of micrometastases group (curve 1, 5-year overall survival, 16.6%; median, 23 months) was poorer (p = 0.02), whereas significance between the nonbulky metastases (curve 2; 5-year, 32.5%; median, 30 months) and bulky (curve 3; 5-year, 27.6%; median 23 months) was not significant (p = 0.12).
