Staging8th editionThe Tumor, Node, Metastasis(TNM) staging system,adopted by the Union for International Cancer Control(UICC) and the American Joint Committee on Cancer(AJCC), has been recently revised, with the new 8th edition of the staging manual being published in January 2017. This edition...
As information about the pathogenesis of lung cancer increases, it is thought that the molecular features of the tumor may also be useful in staging. However, the information available is not yet at a level to be adapted to this system. It can be predicted that this rapidly developing field ...
Revisions to the TNM stage classifications for lung cancer, informed by the international database (N = 94,708) of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) Staging and Prognostic Factors Committee, need external validation. The objective was to externally validate the revi...
Background: Carrying out a correct anatomical classification of lung cancer is crucial to take clinical and therapeutic decisions in each patient. Aim: TNM staging classification provides an accurate anatomical description about the extension of the disease; however, the anatomical burden of the disease...
Staging of cancer at the time of diagnosis is the most important predictor of survival, and treatment options should be based on the stage. The aim of this overview is to discuss the changes in the 8th Edition of the TNM (Tumor, Nodes, Metastasis) Classification of lung cancer and its ...
The current study tried to validate the prognostic significance of the 8th American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system among small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients recorded within the surveillance, epidemiology, and end results (SEER) database. SEER database (2004-2014) has been que...
We sought to determine whether the current nodal (N) descriptors should be maintained or revised for the next edition (8th) of the International Lung Cancer Staging System. Methods The new International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer lung cancer database was created from 94,708 ...
Staging of lung cancer is a key factor for both prognostication and management of patients. Thus, there is a need for an accurate, uncom- plicated, easily reproducible staging system. The database of the 8th TNM (T: Tumor, N: Node, M: Metastasis) classification is based on information ga...
This effort was considered critical to the prospective international lung cancer data collection planned by the IASLC starting in 2009 which will inform revisions for the 8th editions of the UICC and AJCC staging manuals 7 years hence. We now describe the IASLC lymph node map which we anticipate...
