Resection is indicated in about 20% of N2 cases. When it is complete a 5-year survival rate may be expected. It represents for these patients a chance of cure and therefore must be considered in all cases of N2, either immediately or after an adjuvant treatment. Its results can be improved by strict selection of the patients and by an efficient chemotherapy.
约20%的N2期病例需要进行手术切除。若切除彻底，有望获得5年生存率。对于这些患者而言，这代表着治愈的机会，因此在所有N2期病例中都必须予以考虑，要么立即进行，要么在辅助治疗之后进行。通过严格筛选患者以及采用有效的化疗，可以提高手术切除的效果。
