Figure Lengend Snippet: Kaplan-Meier Estimates of Overall Survival of Esophageal Cancer Patients (n=267) at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, according to Pathological Response at Time of Surgical Resection. The Kaplan-Meier estimates for overall survival indicate that as the extent of pathological response to neoadjuvant therapy increases, there is a significant increase in the overall survival of the patient. It is interesting to note, however, that in our observed cohort, the degree of pathological response to neoadjuvant therapy seemed not to affect patients with early mortality (<10 months) but rather those who survived more than one year.
