Surgical staging for non-small cell lung cancer
Surg Oncol Clin N Am.
2011 Oct.
Abstract
The treatment of non-small cell lung cancer is stage specific. Aggressive staging is associated with improved stage-specific prognosis. Available methods of surgical staging include scalene node biopsy, mediastinoscopy, anterior mediastinotomy, and thoracoscopy. In this article the various surgical staging methods are described and their respective roles are discussed.
