Abstract:
Lung cancer is the most important cause for cancer death globally,and it ranks the first position in morbidity and mortality among all malignances in China.non small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)accounts for approximately 80% of all lung cancinoma.Surgical resection is the major treatment method for early stage NSCLC.Video-assisted thoracic surgery(VATS) is becoming the preferred surgical procedure for early stage NSCLC,because of it's minimally invasive features.However,controversy remains regarding the extent of lymph node dissection and the completeness of the lymphnode dissection by VATS for early stage NSCLC.This article is a brief review concerning this two questions.
