Revised (8th) edition of TNM staging system for lung cancerRamiPorta, R
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 ...
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...
However, the eighth edition TNM stage classification system demonstrated consistent ability to discriminate TNM categories and stage groups for clinical and pathologic stage. Conclusions The IASLC revisions made for the eighth edition of lung cancer staging are validated by this analysis of the NCDB ...
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 ...
Furthermore, LC was classified according to the World Health Organization tumor classification, and LC staging was performed using the 8th edition of the TNM (T for characteristics of the primary tumor, N for nodal involvement, and M for distant metastasis) classification of malignant tumors [22]...
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 ...
Comparison of the 7th and proposed 8th editions of the AJCC/UICC TNM staging system for non-small cell lung cancer undergoing radical surgery The present study aims to compare the 7thand the proposed 8thedition of the AJCC/UICC TNM staging system for NSCLC in a cohort of patients from a sin...
The IASLC Lung Cancer Staging Project: proposals for the forthcoming Seventh Edition of the TNM classification of non-small cell lung cancer Introduction: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is commonly classified as either limited or extensive, but the Union for International Cancer Control TNM Class.....
