Figure 2From: Clinical significance in the number of involved lymph nodes in patients that underwent surgery for pathological stage III-N2 non-small cell lung cancer Overall survival curves after surgery in p-N2 patients with/without skip metastasis.

However, there was no significant difference (p = 0.216).Back to article page
