Overall survival curve for 25 patients after a complete resection pulmonary metastasis from colorectal carcinoma. The 5-year probability of survival after the first thoracotomy was 39.2% and the median survival time (MST) was 33 months.

Survival curves by the prethoracotomy serum CEA level. The 5-year survival and MST for patients with a normal CEA level was 61.1% and 69 months, respectively, as compared with 19.0% and 21 months for patients with an elevated CEA level (p = ).

Survival curves by lymph node metastasis. The 5-year survival rate and MST for patients without a lymph node metastasis was 49.5% and 49 months, respectively, as compared with 14.3% and 16 months for patients with a lymph node metastasis (p = ).
