摘要: Background. The prognosis of patients who have non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) with mediastinal lymph node metastases remains a controversial issue. This study was performed to evaluate survival by level metastasis and the number levels involved. Methods. authors retrospectively reviewed cases 113 NSCLC pathologic involvement underwent complete tumor resection ipsilateral lymphadenectomy. Results. Most presented only one (68.2%). overall rate 17% at 3 years. No differences in were observed relation which involved (P = 0.667). Differences based on statistically significant 0.001). Conclusions. Although there no when any three defined involved, more than associated significantly poorer survival.
