摘要: Background Lobectomy with mediastinal lymph node dissection is the standard of care in stage IA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We investigated whether number nodes removed influences survival NSCLC patients who underwent lobectomy. Methods 2545 California Cancer Registry lobectomy between 1999 and 2003 were analyzed. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to identify independent prognostic factors. Results Increasing associated statistical significant improvements overall (OS) ( p = 0.0001) cancer-specific (LCSS) 0.0309) The remained an favorable factor for OS trend LCSS 0.0095) even after adjustment other factors including age, sex, histology, histologic grade, socioeconomic status, marital status analyses. Removal 11 15 conferred lowest hazard ratio death [versus none; ratio=0.52; 95% confidence interval: 0.36–0.75]. Conclusions LCSS.
