Episode Synopsis

Ahmed H. El-Sherief, MD, and editorialist Galit Aviram, MD, join CHEST podcast editor, D. Kyle Hogarth, MD, FCCP, to discuss the study by Dr. El-Sherief and others on the inconsistencies in lymph node classification and the need for a lymph node map that simultaneously communicates a standard set of lymph node station definitions in three languages—using the language of anatomic landmarks for surgeons, bronchoscopic landmarks for pulmonologists, and visual CT landmarks for radiologists.
