Abstract
Background
- Lung cancer staging and diagnosis have become more accurate with PET + EBUS
- Lung resection + lymphadenectomy remains mainstay of curative intent treatment. However, previous studies have shown that some patients are found to have more advanced disease from preoperative testing
- Factors that may be associated with post surgical upstaging: interval from diagnosis to surgery, larger tumor size, number of LN sampled, higher standardized uptake value (SUV) on PET
