Five-year survivors with resected PN2 nonsmall cell lung carcinoma

Abstract

Even in the presence of pN2 disease, lung carcinoma patients with T1 tumors, skip metastasis, or single level mediastinal lymph node involvement, especially Level 4, Level 5, or Level 6 lymph nodes, had a relatively favorable prognosis and may be candidates for primary resection.
