Prognostic impact of bulky swollen lymph nodes in cN1 non-small cell lung cancer patients

The aim of this study was to analyze clinicopathological backgrounds and prognosis of clinical N1 non-small cell lung cancer and clarify the difference between bulky and non-bulky cN1 diseases. We reviewed 110 patients with completely resected cN1 non-small cell lung cancer and examined the prognost...

Zusammenfassung:	The aim of this study was to analyze clinicopathological backgrounds and prognosis of clinical N1 non-small cell lung cancer and clarify the difference between bulky and non-bulky cN1 diseases. We reviewed 110 patients with completely resected cN1 non-small cell lung cancer and examined the prognostic impact of lymph node size. We classified the swollen lymph nodes into two groups based on their size on chest computed tomography: short-axis diameter ≥20 mm (=bulky group) or
