Popis: The prognosis of lung cancer remains poor; only 20% of patients can undergo surgery. N2 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a heterogeneous disease. We conducted a retrospective study to analyze the impact of N2 location on survival. This study included 342 NSCLC with N2 involvement between 1988 and 2014. Patient-related data were collected through the CRB biobank and included demographic, therapeutic, and survival data. Survival was analyzed according to Kaplan-Maier method. Cox’s regression analysis and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to determine factors significantly associated with survival. The population average age was 61.6 years; 82.2% were men, a majority were former smokers (87.1%), and 45.3% had adenocarcinoma. The main prognostic factors were male gender (p = 0.01), number of nodes (p
