Pre-surgical assessment of mediastinal lymph node metastases in Stage IA non-small-cell lung cancers.

CONCLUSION: Based on these results, clinical Stage IA for non-small-cell-lung-cancers with nonsolid, part-solid, or solid consistency should be based on pre-surgical CT maximum tumor diameter and lymph node short-axis measurements on CT ≤20 mm. Further prospective evaluation of these clinical Stage IA staging criteria is needed.
