Evaluation of the hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes is part of the surgical treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It is also vital to the staging of lung cancer, which determines the need ...

Treatment for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer is primarily surgical, but the optimal extent of resection of mediastinal lymph nodes is unclear. A 2010 Cochrane review suggested that complete ...

In conclusion, video-assisted thoracoscopic MLND was equivalent to a comparable dissection through a thoracotomy in the hands of an experienced thoracoscopic surgeon with regard to both morbidity and ...

Systematic mediastinal lymph node dissection (LND) or sampling is currently recommended for patients with early-stage non–small cell lung cancer. We aimed to investigate whether no mediastinal LND was ...
