Mediastinal Lymph Node Stations
For lymph node station labeling, 84.5% of lymph nodes are correctly assigned to their stations.Conclusions:Multiple-channel shape, intensity, and spatial prior features aggregated by a random forest classifier improve mediastinal lymph node detection on chest CT. Using the location information of ...
Mediastinal cystFull minimally invasive evaluation of all lymph node stations (with the exception of station 6) is now possible with the advent of endobronchial and trans -esophageal endoscopic ultrasound. Endoscopic ultrasound fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) allows sampling of mediastinal lymph nodes ...
some patients have bulky N2 disease involving more than 1 N2 lymph node station, and others have only microscopic disease found at the time of resection. The survival of these 2 groups of patients is quite different, and thus, perhaps their treatment strategies, including the timing of surgical...
Subsequently, using the open or VATS approach, appropriate lung resection was performed and lymph node stations 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 L were dissected. The dissection technique has been described in detail elsewhere [5]. During the procedure, the nodes from each station were labelled separately ...
Lymph Node Zones and Stations Supraclavicular Zone Station 1 (Supraclavicular): Station 1 comprises the most cranial station of mediastinal nodes. It includes LNs in the sternal notch, supraclavicular, and lower cervical regions (thus overlapping with some cervical LN maps used in head and neck canc...

Later we examined the impact of micrometastasis that is detected in more than one lymph node station in upstaged patients to N2 on the patients’ survival, as it is previously shown that multiple-station N2 has been correlated to worse survival [23]. We analysed patients who upstaged to N2...
(50%) and the 7th station(50%) ;30% cases of right lower lobe mass had N2 diseases and,most commonly in the 4R(31%) and the7th station(34%) ;left upper lobe,had 21% N2,most commonly in the 6th station(50%) ;and left lower lobe,24%,most commonly in the 7th station(43%) ...
After lymph nodes with calcification and bilateral hilar distribution were considered benign, sensitivity and specificity of PET/CT were 75% and 89% on a per-patient basis and 66% and 96% on a per-node station basis. This prospective study suggests that FDG PET/C...
