Although the results after surgery for N2 disease are disappointing, there seems to be a subgroup of patients which may benefit from primary resection. These patients have clinically unrecognized N2 involvement that is discovered only at the time of thoracotomy (unsuspected or unforeseen N2 disease). It was the aim of this retrospective study to analyze the survival after resection for unforeseen N2 disease and to evaluate different prognostic factors. We were interested to see whether our strategy of rigorous staging of the mediastinum with mediastinoscopy or anterior mediastinotomy had an effect on the resectability rate and survival of unsuspected N2 disease.
