Figure.. Kaplan-Meier Survival Curves After Matching
Matching was performed for variables, including treatment facility volume, facility type, age, race, income level, comorbidity score, year of diagnosis, histologic profile, tumor grade, number of lymph nodes examined, hormone receptor status, type of surgery and radiation, surgical margin, radiation dose, postoperative readmissions, and duration of postoperative inpatient admission. Graphs show survival curves for patients with tumors smaller than 8 mm (A) and tumors 8 to 10 mm (B) who did or did not receive chemotherapy.
