Factors affecting survival after resection of stage iib non-small cell lung cancer

TL;DR: The results of this study indicate that age was the main prognostic factors affecting survival in stage IIB NSCLC, however, the effect of visceral pleural invasion and lymph node involvement on survival instage IIB subgroups was not detected, more comprehensive multicenter studies are still needed.

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

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.
