Lung Carcinoids: Long-Term Surgical Results and the Lack of Prognostic Value of Somatostatin Receptors and Other Novel Immunohistochemical Markers.

TL;DR: Age, histopathological type and ipsilateral mediastinal subcarinal lymph node status at baseline were independent prognostic factors for survival and disease recurrence or progression and the extent of surgery and operative macro-radicality also had an impact on prognosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Proposal of a new nodal classification for operable non-small cell lung cancer based on the number of negative lymph nodes and the anatomical location of metastatic lymph nodes.

TL;DR: Comparison of the predictive values of the lymph node factors showed that the new N category was a more valuable prognostic factor in operable NSCLC and the combination of anatomically based pN stage classification and the number of MNs is an accurate prognostic determinant in patients with operableNSCLC.

Unmet Clinical Need in the Management of Locally Advanced Unresectable Lung Cancer: Treatment Strategies to Improve Patient Outcomes

TL;DR: Improved survival confirms the definitive role of durvalumab as an effective adjuvant therapy after CCRT with no new safety signals, however, the potential mechanisms driving interaction between immunotherapy and chemoradiotherapy require definitive investigation.
Journal ArticleDOI

A clinical nomogram and heat map for assessing survival in patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer after complete resection.

TL;DR: A prognostic nomogram and heat map that can be useful for evaluating survival in patients with stage I NSCLC after complete resection is established and may guide clinicians in making treatment decisions.

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.
