Systemic mediastinal lymph node dissection is a standard step in radical surgery for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, it does not carry the risks associated with certain procedures (chylothorax, recurrent nerve palsy, diaphragmatic relaxation, intrapleural hemorrhage, injury to other chest organs (esophagus, great vessels), etc.).
