Paratracheal node involvement was mildly predictive of further disease with patients 1.7 times more likely to have lateral node involvement (sensitivity = 55%, specificity = 68%). Pretracheal node involvement was moderately predictive of further disease with patients three times more likely to have lateral node involvement (sensitivity = 72%, specificity = 74%).
