The impact of complete lymph node dissection for lung cancer on the postoperative course.

抄録

The role of lymph node dissection (LND) for non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) remains controversial. LND adds little morbidity to a pulmonary resection for NSCLC, although it requires an additional 15 to 20 minutes of operative time. Four prospective randomized trials have been performed to compare lymph node sampling and LND; 3 trials showed no difference in survival and 1 showed survival benefit of LND. It is recommended that all patients with resectable NSCLC undergo LND because the procedure provides patients with the most accurate staging and the opportunity for effective adjuvant therapy.
