Lymph Node Dissection Guideline Adherence and Survival in Patients With T1N0M0 Lung Adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Lymph node dissection for early-stage lung adenocarcinoma is controversial. Histologic pattern subtyping reveals heterogeneity of lung adenocarcinoma, yet its association with lymph node involvement and dissection is understudied.

Objective

To assess the association between guideline-adherent lymph node dissection, histologic pattern subtyping, and overall survival in patients with clinical T1N0M0 lung adenocarcinoma.

Design, setting, and participants

This multicenter cohort study used data from the National Cancer Center LungReal database, a multicenter, electronic health records-based database for patients undergoing surgery for lung cancer, from January 2014 to December 2021, with the last follow-up in December 2022. Patients were categorized based on hi
