N2 - OBJECTIVE: Although surgery in selected small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients has been proposed as a part of multimodality therapy, so far, the prognostic impact of node-spreading pattern has not been fully elucidated. To investigate this issue, a retrospective analysis was performed. METHODS: From 01/1996 to 12/2012, clinico-pathological, surgical, and oncological features were retrospectively reviewed in a multicentric cohort of 154 surgically treated SCLC patients. A multivariate Cox proportional hazard model was developed using stepwise regression, in order to identify independent outcome predictors. Overall (OS), cancer-specific (CSS), and Relapse-free survival (RFS) were calculated by Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS: Overall, median OS, CSS, and RFS were 29 (95 % CI
