Objective: The aim of the study was to identify prognostic factors in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with N2 nodal involvement.Methods: A retrospective analysis of disease free survival and 5-year survival for NSCLC patients who underwent primary surgical resection without neoadjuvant chemotherapy were performed.Between January 1998 and May 2004,133 patients were enrolled.Several factors such as age,sex,skip metastasis,number of N2 lymph node stations,type of resection,histology,adjuvant therapy etc.,were recorded and analyzed.SPSS 16.0 software was used.Results: Overall 5-year survival for 133 patients was 32.33%,5-year survival for single N2 station and multiple N2 stations sub-groups were 39.62% and 27.50% respectively,and 5-year survival for cN0–1 and cN2 sub-groups were 37.78% and 20.93% respectively.COX regression analysis revealed that number of N2 station (P = 0.013,OR: 0.490,95% CI: 0.427–0.781) and cN status (P = 0.009,OR: 0.607,95% CI: 0.372–0.992) were two favorable prognostic factors of survival.Conclusion: Number of N2 station and cN status were two favorable prognostic factors of survival.In restrict enrolled circumstances,after combined therapy made up of surgery and postoperative adjuvant therapy have been performed,satisfied survival could be achieved.
Objective: The aim of the study was to identify prognostic factors in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with N2 nodal involvement. Methods: A retrospective analysis of disease free survival and 5-year survival for NSCLC patients who underwent primary surgical resection without neoadjuvant chemotherapy were performed. Whitween January 1998 and May 2004,133 patients were enrolled. Severral factors such as age, sex, skip metastasis, number of N2 lymph node stations, type of resection, histology, adjuvant therapy etc., were recorded and Overall, 5-year survival for 133 patients was 32.33%, 5-year survival for single N2 station and multiple N2 stations sub-groups were 39.62% and 27.50% respectively, and 5-year survival for cN0-1 and cN2 sub-groups were 37.78% and 20.93% respectively. COX regression analysis revealed that number of N2 stations (P = 0.013, OR: 0.490, 95% CI: 0.427-0.781) and cN status , OR: 0.607, 95% CI: 0.372-0.992) were two favorab le prognostic factors of survival. Confluence: Number of N2 station and cN status were two favorable prognostic factors of survival. In combination with enrolled circumstances, after combined therapy made up of surgery and postoperative adjuvant therapy have been performed, satisfied survival could be achieved.
