Kaplan-Meier curves for cancer-specific survival (A) and overall survival (B) among patients stratified according to subtype.

Kaplan-Meier curves for cancer-specific survival in the matched subtype pairs.
Age, sex, and race matching was performed between the thyroid confinement and gross ETE groups (A) and between the thyroid confinement and minimal ETE groups (B). Age, sex, race, TNM stage, and multifocality matching was performed between the thyroid confinement and gross ETE groups (C) and between the thyroid confinement and minimal ETE groups (D). Age, sex, race, TNM stage, multifocality, surgery, and radiation treatment matching was performed between the thyroid confinement and gross ETE groups (E) and between the thyroid confinement and minimal ETE groups (F).
