English translation: Station

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:Station

Medical - Medical (general) / Onkologie
German term or phrase: Station
This is from the report of a radiologist to whom the patient has been sent for restaging. The source sentence is as follows:

Thorax
Zahlenmäßig vermehrte mediastinale Lymphknoten mit allenfalls geringer Größenzunahme bis 7 mm ( Station 5). Keine vergrößerten Lymphknoten hilär oder axillär.

The report has already talked about the various levels of the cervical lymph nodes, i.e. level I, II etc., so I don't think that's what is meant, but what is meant? I have no idea what "Station" could refer to here. (And I don't think "ward" is meant either.) The term is not used anywhere else.

Thanks for your help, as always!

Notes to answerer
Asker: I see! So the stations refer to the thoracic lymph nodes and the levels refer to the cervical lymph nodes as in https://radiologyassistant.nl/head-neck/cervical-node-mapping/cervical-node-map?! Thank you so much, I did not find this.
