In Kyu Park, MD, PhD, Young Tae Kim, MD, PhD, Jae Hyun Jeon, MD, Hye-Seon Kim, MD, Yoohwa Hwang, MD, Yong Won Seong, MD, Chang Hyun Kang, MD, PhD, Joo Hyun Kim, MD, PhD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 96, Issue 3, Pages (September 2013) DOI: /j.athoracsur Copyright © 2013 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 Numbers of patients who underwent lymph node dissection of anterior mediastinal (AM) lymph nodes, intrathoracic (IT) lymph nodes, or paratracheal (PT) lymph nodes.

3 Fig 2 Locations of tumor and metastatic lymph nodes with (A) left sided mass, (B) midline mass, and (C) right sided mass are shown in each patient with intrathoracic lymph node metastasis.

4 Fig 3 Curves are shown for overall survival (OS; solid line), disease-free survival (DFS; dashed line), and freedom from recurrence (FFR; dotted line). The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.athoracsur ) Copyright © 2013 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

5 Fig 4 Disease-free survival curves are shown according to the status of lymph node dissection and lymph node metastasis. (N0a = pathologic N0 by limited dissection; N0b = pathologic N0 by extensive dissection; N1 = node metastasis; Nx = no node dissection.)

6 Fig 5 Freedom from recurrence curves according to (A) the Masaoka-Koga stages, (B) lymph node metastasis, and (C) the status of lymph node dissection and lymph node metastasis. (N0a = pathologic N0 by limited dissection; N0b = pathologic N0 by extensive dissection; N1 = node metastasis; Nx = no node dissection.)
