Clinical Significance of Station 3A Lymph Node Dissection in Patients with Right-Side Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer: A Retrospective Propensity-Matched Analysis

Chengwu Liu et al.

Summary: The study investigated the prognostic impact of station 3A lymph node dissection in patients with right-side non-small-cell lung cancer. Results showed that dissection of station 3A lymph nodes led to significantly higher disease-free survival and overall survival, particularly in patients with stage II and III disease.

Which N Descriptor Is More Predictive of Prognosis in Resected Non-small Cell Lung Cancer The Number of Involved Nodal Stations or the Location-Based Pathological N Stage?

Long Xu et al.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance and discriminatory capability of the number of involved nodal stations (nS) in a large Chinese cohort with non-small cell lung cancer. Results showed that patients could be classified into prognostically different subgroups based on the number of involved nodal stations, with a significant difference in disease-free survival and overall survival. Furthermore, the nS classification demonstrated a higher predictive capability than the location-based N classification.

Comparison of Two Proposed Changes to the Current Nodal Classification for Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Based on the Number and Ratio of Metastatic Lymph Nodes

Feng Li et al.

Summary: The study introduced N-#number and N-#ratio classifications, with N-#number classification providing more accurate prognostic stratifications compared to N-#ratio classification and the current nodal classification for prognostically heterogeneous N1 or N2 NSCLC patients.

New N1/N2 classification and lobe specific lymphatic drainage: Impact on survival in patients with non-small cell lung cancer treated with surgery

Thomas Tsitsias et al.

Summary: The proposed N descriptor revision and the impact of tumor location on lymph node metastases distribution have significant implications on survival prediction for NSCLC patients. A significant difference in survival was observed between N1 and N2 patients, especially with N2a2 and N2b subgroups showing poorer prognosis.

Comparative Effectiveness of a Lymph Node Collection Kit Versus Heightened Awareness on Lung Cancer Surgery Quality and Outcomes

Meredith A. Ray et al.

Summary: Improved awareness and use of a lymph node collection kit significantly enhanced the quality and outcomes of lung cancer resections compared to baseline, with the kit demonstrating greater effectiveness in the study. Further evaluation through a prospective, institutional cluster-randomized clinical trial is suggested to compare the two interventions.

Does anatomical location-based metastatic lymph node density affect prognosis in lung cancer patients?

Yunus Aksoy et al.

Summary: The study compared the newly proposed N subclassification with the combined anatomical location and ratio of metastatic lymph nodes in resected lung cancer patients. The survival rates differed significantly between N1a and N1b patients, while there was no significant difference between N1b and N2a1 patients, and N2a2 patients had a better survival rate than N2b patients.
