Tumor characteristics of lung cancer in predicting axillary lymph node metastases
In lung cancer, axillary lymph node metastases (ALM) are rare, and according to the 8th grading system, it is classified as M1b disease. The aim of this study is to evaluate1) the presence of ALM and2) the effect of the primary tumors characteristics on the development of ALM. We performed a descrip...

| Zusammenfassung: | In lung cancer, axillary lymph node metastases (ALM) are rare, and according to the 8th grading system, it is classified as M1b disease. The aim of this study is to evaluate1) the presence of ALM and2) the effect of the primary tumors characteristics on the development of ALM.
We performed a descriptive cross-sectional study, with retrospective revision, to identify ALM.
There were 157 patients included in this analysis: ALM (63 patients) and control group (94 patients). The presence of extrathoracic lymph node, contralateral pulmonary parenchymal and distant metastasis and all SUVmax values were significantly higher in the study group versus the control group (P |
