Prognostic Impact of Examined Mediastinal Lymph Node Count in Clinical N0 Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.

TL;DR: Examining ≥3 mLNs contributed to a favorable prognosis and low mLN recurrence risk in patients with clinical stage I-II, N0 NSCLC and can serve as a benchmark for the number of required mLNs to be examined.

Impact of Nodule Density in Women With Sublobar Resection for Stage IA Adenocarcinoma.

TL;DR: In this report of female patients with stage IA adenocarcinoma, sublobar resection was associated with worse DFS compared to lobectomy in whole group analysis, however, patients with solid-predominant GGOs demonstrate improved 5-year OS and D FS compared to solid nodules with equivalent outcomes regardless of resection type.

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.
