Prognostic significance of examined lymph node count in older patients with stage T1N0M0 pulmonary carcinoid tumours: a population-based propensity score-matched analysis

Background The optimal number of examined lymph nodes (ELNs) for older early-stage pulmonary carcinoid tumour (PC) patients is unknown. Aims To explore the prognostic effect of the ELN count in older patients with stage T1N0M0 PC resection. Methods Clinical data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology,...

Zusammenfassung:Background The optimal number of examined lymph nodes (ELNs) for older early-stage pulmonary carcinoid tumour (PC) patients is unknown. Aims To explore the prognostic effect of the ELN count in older patients with stage T1N0M0 PC resection. Methods Clinical data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database on stage T1N0M0 PC older patients (age ≥ 65 years) who underwent sublobar resection and lobectomy between 2000 and 2018 were retrospectively analysed for two ELNs-stratified (≥ 7 vs.
