Abstract:
Lay abstract Lung cancer was once the leading cause of death among tumors. Today, as routine examination has become more common, the incidence of lung cancers ≤2 cm diameter has been increasing. Much research had explored treatment for these patients. Lobectomy and lymph node dissection in particular were recommended. Furthermore, lymph node dissection was strongly recommended for lymph-node-positive patients. During treatment, occult lymph node metastasis (OLNM) had been observed in some cases. And OLNM referred to a postoperative positive pathological result among preoperative imaging-negative cases. The study was designed to establish a model for predicting OLNM. In a cohort of 473 patients, we found certain risk factors for OLNM and established a predictive model. Relevant findings were shown in the ‘Conclusion’ section.
