Lymph Node Dissection and Pulmonary Metastasectomy. Review uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • Unexpected lymph node involvement is observed in approximately 20% of all patients undergoing pulmonary metastasectomy. Lymph node metastasis is often associated with decreased survival in patients with pulmonary metastases. The incidence of lymph node involvement is related to a variety of patient and tumor variables. This article reviews the indications and role for lymph node assessment at pulmonary metastasectomy.
