Abstract

The retrospective clinical records of surgical (combination) treatment in 1420 patients with non-small cell lung cancer were used to determine the rate of regional metastases and to reveal their regularities, by taking into account the size, site, and pathological type of a tumor. On the data available in the literature and the results of their study, the authors proposed a classification of lymphadenectomies in the surgical treatment of lung cancer. A standardized approach to removing mediastinal lymph nodes will make it possible to make a radical surgical volume, to correctly stage the diseases, to adequately plan adjuvant anti-tumor drug treatment, to correctly analyze the long-term results of surgical (combination) treatment, and to compare them with those obtained in different clinics.
