Notes: (a) Comparison of E/M-CTC counts in different N-stages; (b) Correlation analysis between different N-stages and E/M-CTCs count. N1: metastasis to ipsilateral peribronchial and/or ipsilateral hilar lymph nodes and intrapulmonary nodes, including involvement by direct extension. N2: metastasis to ipsilateral mediastinal and/or subcarinal lymph nodes. N3: Metastasis to contralateral mediastinal, contralateral hilar, ipsilateral or contralateral scalene, or supraclavicular lymph nodes.
