As an alternative to complete mediastinal lymphadenectomy at the time of pulmonary resection, they sampled one lymph node from each of three stations. They justify this partial dissection by citing a previous study that showed this method to be 94.5% accurate.

Additionally, they conclude their findings validate limited . . . [Full Text of this Article]
