Abstract

Accurate mediastinal staging is the hallmark of a good thoracic oncology program. Despite advancements in imaging, surgical staging remains the gold standard of mediastinal staging for lung cancer. This review article summarizes the technique of transcervical mediastinal lymph node dissection and its role in the staging of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
