The radiologic staging of lung cancer
Journal of Thoracic Imaging, 1991The radiographic evaluation and staging of bronchogenic carcinoma remains one of the greatest challenges to the thoracic radiologist and one of his or her most important responsibilities. With lung cancer now the most common malignant tumor in both men and women, there will be a continued need for radiologists to guide clinicians to the appropriate ...

arl in the history of thoracic surgery, attempts were made to classify patients as to the extent of disease, in order to avoid unnecessary surgery. Evarts A. Graham,1 the surgeon who first successfully removed a carcinomatous lung in 1933, listed in 1944 the following signs of inoperabiity: (1) the presence of a bloody pleural effusion; (2) paralysis ...

Staging Techniques for Lung Cancer
Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 2000In summary, noninvasive clinical staging techniques aid in stratifying patients into similar prognostic and therapeutic categories. Every patient with presumed non-small cell lung cancer should undergo a thorough history and physical examination, basic routine laboratory testing, PA and lateral chest radiographs, and chest CT scan with upper abdominal ...

Chest, 1978
Staging is one of the most important components in the management of lung cancer. Accurate staging is important because it allows the clinician to predict prognosis and assign appropriate therapy and also provides a system that allows clinicians and researchers to stratify patients into reasonably homogenous groups so that treatment outcomes can be ...

Implications of Staging in Lung Cancer
Chest, 1997Lung cancer staging, based on anatomic extent of disease and described by the TNM staging system (T, primary tumor; N, regional lymph nodes; M, distant metastasis), is an important parameter for determining the clinical course of this disease. To evaluate the prognostic importance of TNM staging for lung cancer, we conducted a retrospective study ...

Radiologic Clinics of North America, 1990
Lung cancer is in epidemic proportions throughout the world. It is imperative that a simple, accurate staging system be used to direct treatment and evaluate its effects on long-term survival. The staging system must be the basis for current and future research on the newer adjuvant treatments for lung cancer.

Staging and surgery for lung cancer
Journal of Thoracic Imaging, 1991Surgery for lung cancer has evolved dramatically over the years. Although 5-year survival for patients with lung cancer remains low, new surgical techniques have increased survival rates for different stages of lung cancer. The article reviews the stages of lung cancer, the different surgical techniques used to treat lung cancer, and the complications ...

DIAGNOSIS AND STAGING OF LUNG CANCER
Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2000Lung cancer is the biggest cancer killer among men and women in the United States. Lung cancer can present in a myriad of ways and the goal of prompt diagnosis and staging requires that the clinician be able to knowledgeably choose from a variety of tools available for such purpose.

Radiologic Staging of Lung Cancer
Journal of Thoracic Imaging, 1999Preoperative tumor staging in patients with known or suspected non-small cell lung cancer is generally performed using contrast enhanced chest computed tomography (CT) (including the adrenal glands). Abdominal CT is generally unnecessary, given the low frequency of isolated liver metastases.

Lung Cancer Staging and Prognosis
2016The seventh edition of the non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) TNM staging system was developed by the International Association for the Staging of Lung Cancer (IASLC) Lung Cancer Staging Project by a coordinated international effort to develop data-derived TNM classifications with significant survival differences.
