1 Long-term results after pulmonary resection of renal cell carcinoma metastases 
Stefan Piltz, MD, Georgios Meimarakis, MD, Matthias W Wichmann, MD, Rudolf Hatz, MD, Friedrich Wilhelm Schildberg, MD, Heinrich Fuerst, MD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 73, Issue 4, Pages (April 2002) DOI: /S (01)

2 Fig 1 Probabiltity of survival of the patients undergoing curative (n = 105) and incomplete pulmonary resection (n = 17) of renal cell carcinoma metastases. Zero on the x-axis represents the date of the first pulmonary resection (p < 0.001). (pat. = patients.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (01) )

3 Fig 2 Probability of survival after complete resection according to involvement of regional lymph nodes (pN) at the time of primary renal operation. Patients with tumor-free lymph nodes have a highly significant better survival rate (p < 0.001) than patients with regional (local) lymph node metastases. (pat. = patients.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (01) )

4 Fig 3 Probability of survival after complete resection in relation to the number of resected pulmonary metastases (p = 0.029). (pat. = patients.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (01) )

5 Fig 4 Probability of survival after complete resection in selection to the largest diameter of the resected pulmonary lesion. Patients with a metastasis smaller than 2 cm have a significantly better survival rate (p = 0.008). (pat. = patients.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (01) )
