title: [Long-term survival of a patient with lung cancer with skip metastasis to supraclavicular lymph nodes].
abstract: A case of lung cancer with skip metastasis to supraclavicular lymph nodes is described. The patient had undergone radical resection for gastric cancer about nine years ago. For about one year, chemotherapy had been done by Tegafur (600 mg/day) after operation. Radical resection for lung cancer (p/d squamous cell carcinoma) was performed about seven years ago. Pathologically, mediastinal lymph node metastasis could not be detected. The needle aspiration biopsy of supraclavicular lymph node revealed metastasis. Then, radical neck lymph nodes dissection involving supraclavicular lymph nodes and radiation therapy were added. There has been no sign of recurrence so far.
