Figure 1

Joint effect of the numbers of involved nodes (npos) and uninvolved nodes (nneg) on survival in T1–T2 breast cancer. Part of the contour plot was partially filled at the corners by padding. The pattern of isoprobability contours radiating from the origin suggests that similar ratios of involved/uninvolved nodes were associated with similar Kaplan–Meier survival estimates (for example. 8 npos/10 nneg has approximately the same 75% [contour line 0.75] 5-year survival chance as 4 npos/5 nneg).
