Pulmonary Interstitial Lymphography in Early Stage Lung Cancer

Lung cancer is a common cause of morbidity and mortality, and even with modern imaging, lung cancer staging is inadequate. Involved regional lymph nodes often are not detectedand are subsequently ignored at the time of definitive surgery or radiation. This may lead to regional failures in otherwise curable patients. Our goal is to identify the primary lymph node drainage of lung cancer. With the results of this research, management could be more customized to individual patient circumstances, potentially improving outcomes.
