Background : The aim of our study was to investigate whether the method of mediastinal staging could influence the mediastinal nodal clearance following trimodality therapy.

Methods : We retrospectively reviewed medical records of 574 patients with clinical stage IIIA-N2 non-small cell lung cancer who underwent surgery after neoadjuvant CCRT from 1997 to 2013. Clinical outcomes were analyzed and compared in those who had EBUS (n = 147), Mediastinoscopy (n =341), and others (n=86) after neoadjuvant CCRT in a single institution.

Results : The median number of dissected lymph node during the pulmonary resection was 20 (range, 0-50) in EBUS, 14 (range, 1-52) in mediastinoscopy, and 18 (range, 4-40) in others (p<0.001). The median number of lymph node metastases was 2 (range, 0-23) in EBUS, 1 (range, 0-26) in mediastinoscopy, and 0 (range,0-14) in others (p<0.001). There were no differences of age,gender, cell type, surgical extent, bulk N2 between these groups.
The mediastinal nodal clearance rate (ypN0 or 1) after surgery was 36 % (54/147) in EBUS, 58% (198/341) in mediastinoscopy, and 60.5% (52/86) in others (p<0.001). The ypN0 rate was 28.6% (42/147) in EBUS, 41.9% (143/341) in mediastinoscopy, and 51.2% (44/86) in others (p=0.001).


Conclusion : We found that the mediastinal nodal clearance rate (ypN0/1) after surgery was higher in mediastinoscopy than in EBUS. The method of mediastinal staging could influence ypN stage following trimodality therapy.
