Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) mediastinal (N2) metastases are indicators of poor prognosis. Survival rates decrease with increasing number of N2 stations and involved lymph nodes as well as lymph node size and capsular invasion. Our purpose was to elucidate the impact lymph node-related variables on the outcome after surgical resection. |
