3 The Classical Dogma of N2 Disease Only 25% of clinical N2 patients can be completely resected mandating a surgical role for staging in these patients The 5 year survival of completely resected pn2 patients is approximately 25% Hence, surgery as a primary treatment for N2 disease will have only a 6% - 5 year survival Fortuitous Resection of N2 Disease Study N Radiographic Stage Mountain 307 cno-2 Maggi 236 cno-2 Mediastinoscopy performed Selected patients Selected patients Mediastinoscopy results 5 year survival Negative 31 Negative 19 Miller 147 cno-2 Selected patients Negative 24 Goldstraw 127 cno-2 Selected patients Negative 20 Nakanishi 45 cno-2 Selected patients Negative 21 Vansteenkiste 58 cno-2 All Patients Negative 32 Pearson 25 cno-2 All Patients Negative 41 Andre 332 Minimal N2 Selected Patients Negative 29 3
