Abstract:
Objective: To investigate the frequency , distribution and features of lymph node metastasis in lung cancer, and to provide evidence for lymph node dissection. Methods: 348 patients with lung cancer were retrospectively studied, all patients received R_3 surgery plus systemic lymph node dissection according to the mapping system developed by Naruke. Results: Total 3 689 groups of lymph nodes were dissected . The metastatic rates of N_1 and N_2 were 23.4% and 16.5%, respectively. N_1 or N_2 metastasis was not found in Tis tumor. There was a significant difference of N_2 metastasis rates between squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma in T_1 or T_2 tumor (P
