Long-term survival of patients with stage II and III gastric cancer who underwent gastrectomy with inadequate nodal assessment

Figure 1 Survival analysis of the entire sample. A and B: Kaplan-Meier curves of overall survival (OS) (A) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) (B); C and D: Kaplan-Meier curves of OS (C) and CSS (D) of different stages; E and F: Kaplan-Meier curves of OS (E) and CSS (F) based of different N categories.

Figure 2 Comparison of the survival of patients with inadequate (< 16), adequate (16-29), and optimal (> 30) lymph node assessment. Kaplan-Meier curves of A: Overall survival; B: Cancer-specific survival.

Figure 3 Analysis of survival of patients with inadequate lymph node assessment. Kaplan-Meier curves of A: Overall survival (OS); B: Cancer-specific survival (CSS) based on stage; C and D: OS (C) and CSS (D) based on the N classification.
