The Canada Lymph Node Score: A Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial

After CLNS assessment, patients with proven malignant mediastinal lymph nodes will be referred for chemoradiation and patients with proven benign mediastinal lymph nodes will undergo surgical resection as per standard of care guidelines. Final pathology from the resected specimen will be considered the gold standard for analysis of sensitivity and specificity.

Following routine biopsy of lymph nodes, patients with proven malignant mediastinal lymph nodes will be referred for chemoradiation and patients with proven benign mediastinal lymph nodes will undergo surgical resection as per standard of care guidelines. Final pathology from the resected specimen will be considered the gold standard for analysis of sensitivity and specificity.
