1 The impact of lymph node station on survival in 348 patients with surgically resected malignant pleural mesothelioma: Implications for revision of the American Joint Committee on Cancer staging system  Raja M. Flores, MD, Tom Routledge, MD, Venkatraman E. Seshan, PhD, Joseph Dycoco, BA, Maureen Zakowski, MD, Yael Hirth, Valerie W.

2 Figure 1 A, Distribution of positive node stations: left lung. Most patients who had lymph node metastases had more than 1 nodal station involved, so the number of metastatic sites exceeds the number of resections. B, Distribution of positive node stations: right lung. Most patients who had lymph node metastases had more than 1 nodal station involved, so the number of metastatic sites exceeds the number of resections.
