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 ...

Lung cancer that has metastasized to the lymph nodes can vary in outlook and treatment, based on how far and which lymph nodes the cancer has spread to.

Lung cancer that has metastasized to the lymph nodes can vary in outlook and treatment, based on how far and which lymph nodes the cancer has spread to.

Mediastinal lymphadenopathy is the swelling of the lymph nodes in the chest cavity. It is a symptom of various conditions and can be benign or malignant.

Accurate staging of the mediastinal lymph nodes in resectable non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is critically important to determine the overall stage of the tumor and guide subsequent management.

Patients with primary left lung cancer who underwent 4L lymph node dissection had more favorable survival outcomes than those who did not receive 4L dissection, according a single-center ...

Endoscopic biopsy of lymph nodes between the two lungs (mediastinum) is a sensitive and accurate technique that can replace mediastinal surgery for staging lung cancer in patients with potentially ...
