Despite the heterogeneity of outcomes in studies across the globe, lymph node involvement remains an important prognostic indicator for recurrence and survival (2-7). Patients with node negative cancer historically experience 5-year overall survivals ranging from 65–85% while the presence of N2 or N3 disease substantially decreases this range to 20–35% (8-11)
