Abstract

Objective: To find out the relationships between lymph node metastasis and overall survival in non-small cell lung cancer patients post surgical treatment. Subject and method: Ninety-eight patients who had undergone thoracoscopic lobectomy and lymph node dissection from May 2017 to March 2021. Statistics of metastatic lymph node characteristics, pathologic staging, overall survival. Analyzing the relations between the lymph node metastasis and overall survival. Result: The rate of lymph node metastasis was 31.6%, N2 skip metastasis 9.2%, N2 non-skip metastasis 11.2%. Mean overall survival time was 43.2 ± 1.6 months; 1, 2, 3, 4-year overall survival was 96.8%, 88.9%, 70.4%, 61.8%, respectively. There were significant differences of overall survival among pathologic staging, number of lymph node metastasis. Conclusion: Metastatic lymph node charateristics and pathologic staging were associated with overal survival in non-small cell lung cancer patient after thoracoscopic lobectomy and lymph node dissection.
