Here, we define the correlation between STAT3 expression and lymph node micrometastasis of early©\stage non©\small cell lung cancer. Then we highlight some possibilities associated with developing a way to detect tumor micrometastasis and an anticancer drug that might therapeutically inhibit the STAT3 signaling pathway %K Lymph node micrometastasis %K mucin£¿1 %K non©\small cell lung cancer %K phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription£¿3 %K signal transducer and activator of transcription£¿3 %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5928384/
