Mediastinal Lymph Node Stations
Endoscopic ultrasound fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) allows sampling of mediastinal lymph nodes relevant to lung cancer staging, particularly in the subcarinal area (station 7), lower para -esophageal lymph nodes (station 8), inferior pulmonary ligament lymph nodes (station 9), and celiac lymph...
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...
Lymph node enlargement was more often seen in the mediastinum (48%) than the hilar region (20%). The most common localisation of enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes was the regional station 7 following the ATS mapping (infracarinal). Patients with a stage I following the GOLD classification ...

Results Twenty-three of the 44 heavy smokers (52%) showed enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes. Non- smokers showed enlarged lymph nodes in 9% (4/44). The most common site of enlarged lymph nodes was the regional station 7 according to the ATS mapping (subcarinal). The difference between the...

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...
(90%,18/20 ) were diagnosed by EBUS-TBNA,however,5 patients were diagnosed with cancer cells or non-small lung cancer.Five false-negative lymph node stations were observed on mediastinoscopy,and 2 were on the subcarinal lymph node station.Conclusion:EBUS-TBNA has high sensitivity,specificity,...
