Maximizing Lymph Node Dissection on Fresh and Fixed Lung Cancer Resection Specimens
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 5 Mar 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Lung cancer patients undergoing upfront surgery, highly benefit from a systematic lymph node dissection in the mediastinum and in the surgical specimens. The latter is performed by the pathologist. Developing a standardized technique to dissect the lobectomy specimen has the potential of maximizing the retrieval of all N1 stations lymph nodes. The investigators believe that the adoption of such technique will improve lung cancer staging and identify a higher number of patients that qualify for adjuvant therapies.
