Extent of Resection and Lymph Node Assessment for Clinical Stage T1aN0M0 Typical Carcinoid Tumors [1]
The authors explored the optimal extent of LN resection for T1aN0 carcinoid tumors undergoing lung resection using the National Cancer Data Base. Twenty-five percent of patients had no nodes evaluated. Four percent of patients were upstaged based on node status. Survival was similar comparing lobectomy to sublobar resection.
