Exact staging of ipsi- and contralateral mediastinal lymph-node metastases (N 1/2 vs. N3) is essential for the therapeutic strategy in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). CT and mediastinoscopy are the standards of reference for N staging. However, even with these combined measures the extent of invasion of mediastinal lymph nodes can remain vague. 18FDG Positron Emission Tomography (18FDG-PET) has recently been shown to detect invaded nodes with high accuracy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate 18FDG-PET as an aid in N staging.
