2013, ChestCitation Excerpt :Most of these studies involved patients with clinical stage I disease and do not provide relevant guidance on what is best for patients with stage cIII disease. In the case of intraoperatively identified N2 involvement, it seems reasonable to suggest that a complete MLND be performed, even though survival data are not available (given that the morbidity of MLND has been consistently found to be minimal).90,95–97,99,100 It is important to emphasize that outcomes data for occult N2 involvement (including that of subgroups) are primarily in patients who were thoroughly staged preoperatively.

2013, ChestCitation Excerpt :Furthermore, in 40% of patients with cytologically negative pleural effusions, the effusions were shown not to be due to malignant involvement by VATS.262 On the other hand, routine VATS found unsuspected pleural studding in 4% (0%–5%) of patients in several studies.137,260,261,264–267 An unsuspected malignant pleural effusion was also found in 6% in one study.265
