Risk Factors and Sampling Range Evaluation of Lymph node Metastasis for 
Non-small Cell Lung Cancer with Diameter ≤2 cm

This study aims to analyze the risk factors and evaluate mediastinal lymph node metastasis sites in different lung lobes for NSCLC with diameter ≤2 cm, so as to provide reference for surgery. Methods We collected 1051 patients with pulmonary nodule diameter ≤2 cm who were treated by pulmonary lobectomy with lymph node sampling/dissection in Department of Thoracic Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University fr om December 2009 to December 2019. SPSS 26.0 statistical software was used for statistical analysis, to explore the risk factors and evaluate mediastinal lymph node metastasis sites in different lung lobes. Results 95 of 1051 (9.04%) patients presented lymph node metastasis. Male, pathological non-a denocarcinoma, 1 cm
