چکیده

Cuando esto ocurre, el tratamiento varía mucho dependiendo de la institución que este viendo al paciente. En la Universidad de Washington lo que hacemos es que si hay un solo ganglio linfático involucrado preferimos dar quimioterapia. En un principio de 3 a 4 ciclos, después repetimos los estudios de imágenes y si el cancer no ha avanzado se lleva al paciente a cirugía donde lo primero que se hace es ver cuáles de los ganglios del mediastino están involucrados. Si el cancer no ha avanzado, se trata posteriormente con una lobectomía (remover el lóbulo del pulmón). Después, si los ganglios del mediastino se vieron afectados, entonces el paciente se hace candidato para ser tratado con radioterapia para erradicar esos ganglios del mediastino.

The Prognostic Significance of Multiple Station N2 in Patients with Surgically Resected Stage IIIA N2 Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Mediastinal (N2) lymph node involvement is heterogeneous with huge variation in the extent and grouped together under stage IIIA. However, they showed a different survival even in the same stage. We tried to determine the prognostic implication of the multiple station N2 lymph node metastasis in stage IIIA N2 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The survival of stage IIIA N2 was analyzed accordi...
