Popis: Background and objective IIIa-N2 non-small cell lung cancer was significant different in survival, although N stage of lung cancer based on anatomic location of metastasis lymph node. Lymph node ratio considered of prognostic factor might be the evaluation index for IIIa-N2 non-small cell lung cancer prognosis. Therefore, the aim of the study was to evaluate the correlation between lymph node ratio and clinicopathological features and prognosis of IIIa-N2 non-small cell lung cancer prognosis. Methods A total of 288 cases of pathological IIIa-N2 non-small cell lung cancer were enrolled who received radical resection at the Department of Thoracic Surgery II, Peking University Cancer Hospital from January 2006 to December 2016. The univariate analysis between clinicopathological variables and lymph node ratio used Pearson’s chi-squared test. Cox regression was conducted to identify the independent prognosis factors for IIIa-N2 non-small cell lung cancer. Results There were 139 cases in the lower lymph node ratio group, another 149 cases in the higher lymph node ratio group. Adenocarcinoma (χ2=5.924, P=0.015), highest mediastinal lymph node metastasis (χ2=46.136, P
