Thoracic lymph nodes are divided into 14 stations as proposed by the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC), principally in the context of oncologic staging. Supraclavicular (Supraclavicular Zone) Inferior mediastinal Station 1 Station 7 (subcarinal zone) low cervical, supraclavicular, and sternal notch subcarinal nodes Station 8 (lower zone) Superior mediastinal (Upper Zone) para-oesophageal below carina Station 2 Station 9 (lower zone) 2R: upper paratracheal right pulmonary ligament 2L: upper paratracheal left Hilar, Lobar, and Segmental Station 3 These are all N1 nodes 3A: prevascular Station 10 (hilar/intralobar zone) 3P: retrotracheal hilar Station 4 Station 11(hilar/intralobar zone) 4R: lower paratracheal right interlobar 4L: lower paratracheal left Station 12 (peripheral zone) Aortic (AP Zone) lobar Station 5 Station 13 (peripheral zone) subaortic segmental Station 6 Station 14 (peripheral zone) para-aortic (ascending aorta or phrenic) Subsegmental http://www.radiologyassistant.nl/en/p4646f1278c26f/mediastinum-lymph-node-map.html
