Abstract
After lung cancer resection and complete lymphadenectomy, the number of LNs is subject to normally distributed interindividual variability, with no significant impact on OS. Recommending an optimal number of nodes is therefore arbitrary. Instead, our recommendation is to perform a complete systematic pulmonary and mediastinal lymphadenectomy following established anatomical boundaries.
