Incorporating the Number of PLN into the AJCC Stage Could Better Predict the Survival for Patients with NSCLC: A Large Population-Based Study

<div>The optimal threshold of the number of positive lymph nodes determined by the X-tile model. (a) X-tile plots based on no. of positive lymph nodes. (b) The optimal cutoff point is shown by the blue (no. of PLN = 0), gray (1 ≤ no. of PLN ≤ 3), and violet panel (no. of PLN ≥ 4).</div>
