Depends on ln: If the lymph node is in the hilar region only and not in the mediastinum then you are dealing with n1 dz as opposed to n2 dz. That is the difference between stage 2 or 3 disease in a simplified manner. It also assumes that the primary tumor is rather small and at least 2cm from the mainstream bronchus and not involving other parts of the lung or causing a pleural effusion or chest wall invasion.
