Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Occult lymph node (LN) metastasis, indicating pathological LN involvement, is often observed in clinical N0 (cN0) early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Identifying preoperative predictors of occult LN metastasis (pathologically N1 and N2) is crucial for determining the surgical procedure for cN0 NSCLC. This study aimed to investigate the role of genetic mutations in predicting occult LN...
