Patients with segment 5 tumors had a worse prognosis than patients with segment 4 and other lobe tumors. We speculate that is because segment 5 tumors cause more metastases to the mediastinal lymph nodes. Tumor location was an important prognostic factor for patients with right middle lobe lung cancer.
