Abstract excerpt
Objectives: The impact of skip N2 metastases (i.e. N2 lymph node metastases without N1) on survival in surgically resected non-small lung cancer remains an intriguing and rarely investigated topic. The goal of our study was to elucidate (i) skip N2 influence on overall survival (OS) and time to recurrence (TTR) in patients with resected lung adenocarcinoma and (ii) its link with epidermal growth factor receptor (...
