    1. AJCC Staging Moments AJCC TNM Staging 7th Edition Lung Case #3

    2. Lung Case # 3 Presentation of New Case Newly diagnosed lung cancer patient Presentation at Cancer Conference for treatment recommendations and clinical staging

    3. Lung Case # 3 History & Physical 65 yr old female who presented with inappropriate behavior and thoughts Current smoker, using nicotine patch to quit

    4. Lung Case # 3 Imaging Results Chest x-ray- infiltrate CT & MRI brain- 2cm mets in each right frontal & right occipital lobes CT chest- 2.4cm LUL lung mass, bilateral mediastinal nodes

    5. Lung Case # 3 Diagnostic Procedure Procedure CT guided biopsy LUL lung Pathology Report Adenocarcinoma

    6. Lung Case # 3 Clinical Staging Clinical staging Uses information from the physical exam, imaging, and diagnostic biopsy Purpose Select appropriate treatment Estimate prognosis

    7. Lung Case # 3 Clinical Staging Synopsis- patient with 2.4cm LUL lung mass, bilat mediastinal nodes, and brain mets What is the clinical stage? T____ N____ M____ Stage Group______

    8. Lung Case # 3 Clinical Staging Clinical Stage correct answer T1b N3 M1b Stage Group IV Based on stage, treatment is selected Review NCCN treatment guidelines for this stage

    9. Lung Case # 3 Clinical Staging Rationale for staging choices T1b for ca >2cm but <3cm N3 because contralateral mediastinal nodes were clinically positive on imaging M1b because distant metastases (brain) were found on imaging; if additional mets were suspected, appropriate tests would be performed before developing a treatment plan

    10. Prognostic Factors Clinically Significant Applicable to this case Separate tumor nodules: none There are no prognostic factors required for staging

    12. Lung Case # 3 Presentation after Surgery The procedure chosen based on the 2.4cm LUL lung mass, bilat mediastinal nodes, and brain mets, Stage IV, is resection of metastases Presentation at Cancer Conference for adjuvant treatment recommendations and pathologic staging

    13. Lung Case # 3 Surgery & Findings Procedure Gross resection brain mets rt frontal and occipital lobes Operative findings No additional information

    14. Lung Case # 3 Pathology Results Met adenocarcinoma in rt frontal and occipital lobes

    15. Lung Case # 3 Pathologic Staging Pathologic staging Uses information from the clinical staging supplemented or modified by information from surgery and the pathology report Purpose Additional precise data for estimating prognosis Calculating end results (survival data)

    16. Lung Case # 3 Pathologic Staging Synopsis- patient with 2.4cm LUL lung mass, bilat mediastinal nodes, brain mets What is the pathologic stage? (remember, clinical M may be used in pathologic staging) T____ N____ M____ Stage Group______

    17. Lung Case # 3 Pathologic Staging Pathologic Stage correct answer pTX pNX pM1b Stage Group IV Based on pathologic stage, there is more information to estimate prognosis and adjuvant treatment is selected

    18. Lung Case # 3 Pathologic Staging Rationale for staging choices pTX because the primary tumor was not removed, pathologic staging cannot be completed pNX because regional nodes were not removed, pathologic staging cannot be completed pM1b because the brain mets were proven histologically

    19. Prognostic Factors Clinically Significant Applicable to this case Separate tumor nodules: none There are no prognostic factors required for staging

    20. AJCC Cancer Staging Atlas N3 Contralateral mediastinal or hilar; ipsilat/contralat scalene; supraclavicular LN

    21. Lung Case # 3 Recap of Staging Summary of correct answers Clinical stage T1b N3 M1b Stage Group IV Pathologic stage TX NX M1b Stage Group IV The staging classifications have a different purpose and therefore can be different. Do not go back and change the clinical staging based on pathologic staging information.

    22. Staging Moments Summary Review site-specific information if needed Clinical Staging Based on information before treatment Used to select treatment options Pathologic Staging Based on clinical data PLUS surgery and pathology report information Used to evaluate end-results (survival)
