Abstract
Multiple-station versus single-station N1 disease and multiple-zone versus single-zone N1 involvement indicate poorer survival rate. Patients with hilar lymph node involvement had lower survival rates than patients with peripheral N1. The impact of T factor seemed to be veiled by the heterogenous nature of N1 disease. Further studies of adjusted postoperative strategies for different N1 subgroups are warranted.
