Staging of Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer.
Staging of lung cancer serves 2 purposes; it attempts to classify patients into groups where particular treatments are appropriate and defines those groups based on expected prognosis. The eighth edition of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer staging system deals with the issues raised by screening with fine cut computed tomography. Each phase of staging is a legitimate d...
متن کاملStaging non-small cell lung cancer*
Patients with newly diagnosed non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) need accurate tumor staging in order to direct appropriate therapy and establish prognosis; the tumor is usually staged using the TNM system. The major imaging modalities currently used for staging this disease are thoracic computed tomography (CT) (including the adrenal glands) and whole body fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emi...
متن کاملEUS-FNA in the preoperative staging of non-small cell lung cancer.
BACKGROUND According to current guidelines, transesophageal ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) can be performed as an alternative for surgical staging to confirm mediastinal metastases in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). To date however, data regarding the routine use of EUS-FNA in the preoperative staging of unselected patients with NSCLC are limited. AIMS AN...
متن کاملClinical and surgical staging of non-small cell lung cancer.
The necessity for a compulsive attitude toward preoperative assessment of lung cancer is to be emphasized, since rational treatment and prognosis depend largely on the stage of disease at the time of diagnosis. In the preoperative setting, the techniques used should be sequential, logical, and help to identify patients suitable for treatment with curative intent. With regard to the primary tumo...
متن کاملPreoperative nodal staging of non-small cell lung cancer using 99mTc-sestamibi spect/ct imaging
OBJECTIVES The proper nodal staging of non-small cell lung cancer is important for choosing the best treatment modality. Although computed tomography remains the first-line imaging test for the primary staging of lung cancer, its limitations for mediastinum nodal staging are well known. The aim of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of hybrid single-photon emission computed tomography and co...
