Single T factors predict survival of patients with resected stage-IIB non-small-cell lung cancers

Abstract

The stage-IIB category is comprised of eight sub-categories, with either single factors or factor combinations; these sub-categories have different prognoses. The worst survivals were for cases with T2bN1M0 as a single factor or for cases with multiple factors, although these represented a small proportion of resected stage-IIB NSCLC cases.
