Abstract

Our results suggest that the presence of VPI, rather than the extent, has an impact on postoperative survival in patients with NSCLC who have N0 or N1 metastasis. Because very few previous studies have addressed the effects of VPI in patients with N1 disease, further re-evaluation of the prognostic impact of VPI is necessary in this subgroup of patients.
