Abstract

Background: The adequacy of lymphadenectomy based on the number of resected lymph nodes in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has been questioned. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the role of lymph node dissection during VATS lobectomy for NSCLC, and reveal the relationship between the number of lymph node retrieved and overall and recurrence-free survival.
