<div>Kaplan-Meier survival curves for recurrence-free survival and overall survival stratified according to the predominant histologic subtypes of primary lung tumors (a and c) and metastatic lymph nodes (b and d). Grade II includes papillary/acinar-predominant lesions and Grade III includes solid/micropapillary-predominant lesions, according to the previous report [<a href="/journals/bmri/2014/645681/#B10">10</a>].</div>
