Fig 2 Margin distance from tumor compared with the maximum tumor diameter according to malignant status at surgical margin of excised tumor. The margin distance from the tumor as compared with the maximum tumor diameter was 0.9 ± 0.6 cm (mean ± standard deviation) in the negative group and 0.3 ± 0.3 cm (mean ± standard deviation) in the positive group (p < ). In every positive case, the sum of the margin distance from the tumor divided by the maximum tumor diameter was less than 1. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery , DOI: ( /S (03)01511-X)
