Although clear evidence regarding the survival benefit of lymph node dissection for lung cancer is lacking, lobectomy with lymph node dissection has been a standard surgical procedure for lung cancer.

Surgery remains the best option for treating early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and lymph node dissection (LND) is an important step in this approach. However, the extent of LND in the general age population, especially in young patients, is controversial.

Pulmonary lobectomy is the standard surgical treatment of early-stage lung cancer, only if it is associated with mediastinal lymph node dissection (MLND) (5,6). Lymph node dissection, detecting clinically occult metastases, can control local …

Mediastinal lymph node dissection (MLND) is an integral component of complete resection for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study analyzed the National Comprehensive Cancer Network's (NCCN) NSCLC Database to compare the efficacy of MLND during lobectomy by video-assisted thoracoscopy surgery (VATS) and thoracotomy (open).

Jun 4, 2017 · Nowadays, the standard surgical treatment of early-stage NSCLC is lobectomy with systematic lymph node dissection (LND) as recommended by the guidelines (3,4), which capable of providing accurate staging (5,6), detecting occult metastasis and improving survival (5,8,9).

Dec 4, 2017 · A total endoscopic 3-arm robotic video-assisted anatomical lobectomy and systematic lymph node dissection performed through a port-only approach is an established technique to perform a right lower lobectomy.

Nov 5, 2013 · The technique of single-direction lobectomy and mediastinal lymph node dissection is a safe and feasible completely thoracoscopic lobectomy in minimally invasive approach. Single-direction lobectomy can shorten the operation time and reduce the difficulty and complexity of …

Sep 22, 2021 · The standard surgical treatment of NSCLC remains lobectomy combined with lymph node (LN) dissection (LND), even for early stage tumors .

Mar 1, 2012 · Firstly, population-based studies have shown that the adequacy of lymph node sampling, let alone complete mediastinal lymph node dissection, is extremely variable, and generally variably performed in open lobectomy cases (2, 3).

Nov 1, 2018 · In this study we evaluate immediate and long-term results of surgical treatment of patients with early stages of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy (VATS) with mediastinal lymph node dissection.
