Survival and resected lymph nodes number during sublobectomy for N0 Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer ≤ 2cm.

CONCLUSIONS: In wedge resection, 4-9 and 10-16 lymph nodes should be examined for lesions ≤1 cm and 1-2 cm, respectively. In segmentectomy, lymph node resection did not confer survival benefits for lesions ≤2 cm. PMID: 30682353 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
