Fig 1 Kaplan-Meier curve shows overall survival of 130 patients who underwent pneumonectomy for non-small cell lung cancer. This included 35 patients who received preoperative neoadjuvant (dashed line) treatment and 95 patients who were treated only with surgical intervention (solid line; Surg 1st group). No statistically significant difference was noted in survival at 1 and 5 years postoperatively.
