Revisions in the International System for Staging Lung Cancer
TL;DR: Analysis of a collected database representing all clinical, surgical-pathologic, and follow-up information for 5,319 patients treated for primary lung cancer confirmed the validity of the TNM and stage grouping classification schema.

TL;DR: Suggestions include additional cutoffs for tumor size, with tumors >7 cm moving from T2 to T3; reassigning the category given to additional pulmonary nodules in some locations; and reclassifying pleural effusion as an M descriptor.

TL;DR: Cisplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy improves survival among patients with completely resected non-small-cell lung cancer and had a significantly higher survival rate than those assigned to observation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regional Lymph Node Classification for Lung Cancer Staging
TL;DR: Recommendations for classifying regional lymph node stations for lung cancer staging have been adopted by the American Joint Committee on Cancer and the Union Internationale Contre le Cancer, and provides for consistent, reproducible, lymph node mapping that is compatible with the international staging system for Lung cancer.

TL;DR: Preoperative chemotherapy increases the median survival in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer, and the prevalence of mutated K-ras oncogenes was 15 percent among the patients receiving preoperative chemotherapy and 42 percent among those treated with surgery alone.

Prognostic significance of N1 disease in carcinoma of the lung.
TL;DR: The overall incidence of local and regional recurrence was low, and the brain was the most frequent site of recurrence, while survival was significantly poorer in patients with visceral pleural involvement.
