TLDR
R descriptors have prognostic relevance with R(un) survival stratifying between R0 and R1, and a detailed evaluation of R factor is of particular importance in the design and analyses of clinical trials of adjuvant therapies.

The IASLC Lung Cancer Staging Project: A Renewed Call to Participation

Dorothy J. Giroux, +102 more
TL;DR: The Staging and Prognostic Factors Committee of the IASLC is now issuing a call for participation in the next phase of the project, which is designed to inform the ninth edition of the TNM classification for lung cancer.

Early-Stage NSCLC: Advances in Thoracic Oncology 2018

TL;DR: An overview of the most recent body of work that moves us inexorably towards a world in which lung cancer is identified early, more patients undergo curative-intent treatment that achieves the promised cure, and those at risk for failure after treatment are identifiedEarly, when the cancer remains most vulnerable.

Beyond Margin Status: Population-Based Validation of the Proposed International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer Residual Tumor Classification Recategorization.

TL;DR: The proposed R classification recategorization variables were mostly prognostic, except the highest mediastinal nodal station involvement, which suggested a dose-response relationship between nodal R-uncertainty and survival.

The Will Rogers phenomenon. Stage migration and new diagnostic techniques as a source of misleading statistics for survival in cancer.

TL;DR: It is found that a cohort of patients with lung cancer first treated in 1977 had higher six-month survival rates for the total group and for subgroups in each of the three main TNM stages than a cohort treated between 1953 and 1964 at the same institutions.

Lymph node mapping and curability at various levels of metastasis in resected lung cancer.

TL;DR: There was a significant difference for patients who had metastases to the subcrainal lymph nodes as compared to the prognosis for those who did not, and no significant difference in survival was detected between patients who were given adjuvant therapy and those who were not.

ESTS guidelines for intraoperative lymph node staging in non-small cell lung cancer

TL;DR: The European Society of Thoracic Surgeons (ESTS) organized a workshop dealing with lymph node staging in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), where the authors developed guidelines for definitions and the surgical procedures of intraoperative lymph nodes staging, and the pathologic evaluation of resected lymph nodes in patients with NSCLC.

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

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.
