Abstract
Suboptimal lymph node staging was prevalent in this cohort. Large proportions of pN1 and pN0 patients were probably understaged. For patients with positive pulmonary/hilar lymph nodes, failure to examine mediastinal lymph nodes was associated with poorer survival. Interventions are needed to improve lymph node staging of NSCLC.
