Aim: This study aims to investigate investigate the effects of aorticopulmonary LN metastasis and other N1 and N2 LN involvements on survival rates especially for left upper lobe tumors. Material and Method: 111 cases who underwent surgery due to NSCLC and were diagnosed with lymph node metastasis secondary to the postoperative pathological examination, were examined retrospectively. The cases on whom complete resection and mediastinal lymph node dissection were applied and who were diagnosed with postoperative mediastinal LN metastasis were examined with regard to the effects of some prognostic factors on survival. Results: 13 of the cases who were followed up for 21.41 months on average lost their lives. In the general survival analysis, it was found that isolated aorticopulmonary LN metastasis did not affect survival differently from other N2 diseases. Discussion: This paper claims that in cases with NSCLC located on the left upper lobe, isolated aorticopulmonary LN involvement does not have a negative effect on survival different from other N2 stations but further studies need for support this idea. Therefore, these cases should not be considered as inoperable and complete resection should be performed on the appropriate patients
