Investigations of the distant metastatic non ‐small cell lung cancer without local lymph node involvement: Real world data from a large database

ConclusionIn this study, a prognostic nomogram and risk-classifying systems designed for the T1-4N0M1 NSCLC patients showed acceptable performance. Primary lung tumor resection might be a feasible treatment for this population subset. Additionally, we proposed that lymph node stage might have a place in the forthcoming tumor-node-metastasis (TNM)  staging proposal for NSCLC patients with M1 category.
