Regional lymph node map using specific designations to facilitate reliable assessment of lymph node metastasis
Regional lymph nodes named according to structures with which they are associated or their general anatomic location
Defines 14 lymph node stations and 7 lymph node zones that can be assessed on CT and PET/CT
Should be used alongside 7th edition of tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) classification system for lung cancer
Includes non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC), and bronchial carcinoid
Reconciles discrepancies among older maps
