2 Fig 1 (A) Cox proportional hazards regression survival curve for patients 70 years or greater (dashed line) and for patients less than 70 (solid line) years with stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Five-year survival was 78% for elderly (≥ 70 years) compared with 69% for the younger (< 70 years) group (p = 0.01). (B) Cox proportional hazards regression survival curve for patients 70 years or greater (dashed line) and for patients less than 70 (solid line) years with stage II NSCLC. (C) Cox proportional hazards regression survival curve for patients 70 years or greater (solid line) and for patients less than 70 (dashed line) years with stage III NSCLC.
