Popis: In patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) the pathologic lymph node status N2 is a heterogeneous entity, with different degrees of lymph node involvement representing different prognoses. It is speculated whether extra capsular nodal extension may help to define a subgroup with implications on long-term survival.
