Abstract
in English, Chinese

Lymphatic metastasis is the main metastatic route for lung cancer, and is also one of the most important prognostic factors. Therefore, lymph node dissection has been an important procedure in standard lung cancer surgery. But so far, the mode and the extent of lymph node dissection during surgery are controversial for lung cancer in different pathological types, stages, or in different lobes. In this review, we summarize advances on the clinical significance, modes and extents of lymph node dissection during lung cancer surgery.

淋巴道转移是肺癌最主要的转移途径，也是影响肺癌患者预后的主要因素之一。目前，淋巴结清扫已成为标准肺癌手术的重要组成部分。但是到目前为止，对于不同病理类型、不同病理分期、不同肺叶的肺癌而言，术中淋巴结的清扫方式及范围仍存在一定的争议。本文拟就目前肺癌手术中淋巴结清扫的临床意义、清扫方式、清扫范围的研究新进展进行综述。
