The seventh edition of TNM for Lung Cancer came into effect on the first of January 2011. Containing more than 100,000 cases of lung cancer treated by all modalities of care and from around the world, this is the largest database ever accumulated for this purpose. This edition allows detailed analysis and intensive validation such that the resultant classification aligns stage with prognosis more closely than ever before. There have been changes to certain tumor and metastasis descriptors and the resultant stage groupings. This article describes these changes, provides more in-depth discussion of the changes, and provides much additional information.
《肺癌TNM分期系统》第七版于2011年1月1日生效。该数据库包含全球各地超过100,000例接受各种治疗方式的肺癌病例，是有史以来为该目的积累的最大数据库。此版本允许进行详细分析和深入验证，从而使最终的分类比以往任何时候都更紧密地将分期与预后联系起来。某些肿瘤和转移描述符以及由此产生的分期分组发生了变化。本文描述了这些变化，对这些变化进行了更深入的讨论，并提供了更多附加信息。
