Extent of Lymph Node Dissection in Patients with Small-Sized Peripheral Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer during Intentional Segmentectomy

CONCLUSION: NSCLC patients with small peripheral tumors and a C/T ratio <0.75 during segmentectomy may not require MLND. The optimal MLND for patients with a C/T ratio ≥0.75, except for those with S6 primary, may be lobe-specific MLND.PMID:37100608 | DOI:10.5761/atcs.oa.22-00216
