淋巴结转移的准确评估是肺癌治疗的重要组成部分。淋巴结“地图”已被用来描述淋巴结转移的位置。然而，亚洲和西方国家使用的地图之间的命名差异阻碍了肺癌治疗结果的分析。为了实现统一性并促进未来对计划中的前瞻性国际数据库的分析，国际肺癌研究协会提出了一种新的淋巴结图，该图调和了目前使用的图之间的差异，并为所有淋巴结站提供了精确的解剖定义。一种方法分组淋巴结站一起成“区”也提出了未来的生存分析的目的。
The accurate assessment of lymph node involvement is an important part of the management of lung cancer. Lymph node "maps" have been used to describe the location of nodal metastases. However, discrepancies in nomenclature among maps used by Asian and Western countries hinder analyses of lung cancer treatment outcome. To achieve uniformity and to promote future analyses of a planned prospective international database, the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer proposes a new lymph node map which reconciles differences among currently used maps, and provides precise anatomic definitions for all lymph node stations. A method of grouping lymph node stations together into "zones" is also proposed for the purposes of future survival analyses.
