Abbreviations: Bi-lob=bi-lobectomy; chemo=chemotherapy; CI=confidence interval; CCI=Charlson comorbidity index; HR=hazard ratio; Lob=lobectomy; NR=not reached; OS=overall survival; Pneum=pneumonectomy; RT=radiotherapy; Seg=segmentectomy; WT=wild type.

Because neo-adjuvant treatment and adjuvant treatment correlated with the type of treatment performed (i.e., radiotherapy, chemotherapy or radio-chemotherapy), the type of treatment was excluded from multivariate analyses. Because KRAS G12V and mutational status correlated, only KRAS G12V status was entered in the multivariate model. Non-KRAS G12V included wild-type, EGFR mutants and KRAS non-G12V patients.
