TL;DR: The methods used to evaluate the resultant Stage groupings and the proposals put forward for the 8th edition of the TNM Classification for lung cancer due to be published late 2016 are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
The IASLC Lung Cancer Staging Project: Proposals for the Revisions of the T Descriptors in the Forthcoming Eighth Edition of the TNM Classification for Lung Cancer
Ramón Rami-Porta,David Ball,John Crowley,Dorothy J. Giroux,James R. Jett,William D. Travis,Masahiro Tsuboi,Eric Vallières,Peter Goldstraw +8 more
TL;DR: Recommendations are to subclassify T1 into T1a, T1b, and T1c, and to group involvement of main bronchus as T2 regardless of distance from carina; to group partial and total atelectasis/pneumonitis as T1; to reclassify diaphragm invasion as T4; and to delete mediastinal pleura invasion as a T descriptor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Non-small-cell lung cancer
Peter Goldstraw,David Ball,James R. Jett,Thierry Le Chevalier,Eric Lim,Andrew G. Nicholson,Frances A. Shepherd +6 more
TL;DR: Advances in treatment that have seen the introduction of a new generation of chemotherapy agents, a proven advantage to adjuvant chemotherapy after complete resection for specific stage groups, new techniques for the planning and administration of radiotherapy, and new surgical approaches to assess and reduce the risks of surgical treatment are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
The International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer Lung Cancer Staging Project: Proposals for the Revision of the N Descriptors in the Forthcoming 8th Edition of the TNM Classification for Lung Cancer
Hisao Asamura,Kari Chansky,John Crowley,Peter Goldstraw,Valerie W. Rusch,Johan Vansteenkiste,Hirokazu Watanabe,Yi-Long Wu,Marcin Zieliński,David Ball,Ramón Rami-Porta +10 more
TL;DR: Current N descriptors adequately predict the prognosis and therefore should be maintained in the forthcoming staging system, and it is recommended that physicians record the number of metastatic lymph nodes and to further classify the N category using new descriptors, such as N1a, N1b, N2a,N2b, and N3, for further testing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Positron Emission Tomography Is Superior to Computed Tomography Scanning for Response-Assessment After Radical Radiotherapy or Chemoradiotherapy in Patients With Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer
Michael P. Mac Manus,Rodney J. Hicks,Jane P. Matthews,Allan F. McKenzie,Danny Rischin,Eeva Salminen,David Ball +6 more
TL;DR: In NSCLC, a single, early, posttreatment PET scan is a better predictor of survival than CT response, stage, or pretreatment performance status.
