The dynamic pattern of recurrence in curatively resected non-small cell lung cancer patients: Experiences at a single institution

Highlights • The recurrence risk was studied utilizing the cause-specific hazard function. • The hazard function presented an early peak at ca. 10 months after surgery. • The curve pattern of hazard function was dependent on histology and tumor stage. • The curves may be useful to design individual...

Description
Summary:Highlights • The recurrence risk was studied utilizing the cause-specific hazard function. • The hazard function presented an early peak at ca. 10 months after surgery. • The curve pattern of hazard function was dependent on histology and tumor stage. • The curves may be useful to design individual protocols for follow-up evaluations.
