Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Lung cancer remains one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide, as well as in the United States. Clinical staging, primarily with imaging, is integral to stratify patients into groups that determine treatment options and predict survival. The eighth edition of the tumor, node, metastasis (TNM-8) staging system proposed in 2016 by the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer remains the current standard for lung cancer staging. The system is used for all subtypes of lung cancer, including non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, and bronchopulmonary carcinoid tumors.
