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.

TL;DR: Codes for the primary tumor categories of AIS and minimally invasive adenocarcinoma (MIA) and a uniform way to measure tumor size in part‐solid tumors for the eighth edition of the tumor, node, and metastasis classification of lung cancer are proposed.

TL;DR: An extensive analysis has produced stage classification proposals for lung cancer with a robust degree of discriminatory consistency and general applicability and external validation is encouraged to identify areas of strength and weakness.

TL;DR: An empiric node map is proposed here to establish a universal language for reporting as well as characterize the staging of this disease more accurately and to define node staging as part of a universal stage classification for thymic malignancy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed a Phase II study of teniposide as a treatment for patients with previously untreated extensive small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) which was open to patients with a histologic or cytologic diagnosis of extensive SCLC who had not received prior radiation or chemotherapy.
