Concordance of Clinical and Pathological Nodal Staging in Resectable Lung Cancer.

CONCLUSIONS: Staging accuracy in lung cancers selected for initial resection declines with >cN0 and central tumors. Noninvasive staging in tumors without clinical nodal involvement misses nearly 20% of cN1-2. Center-specific accuracy of is a target for quality improvement.
