Validation for revision of the stage IIIA(T1N2) in the forthcoming ninth edition of the TNM classification for lung cancer
In the 9th edition of the lung cancer TNM staging system, the prognosis of stage IIB N2a2 patients was worse than that of remaining stage IIB patients but comparable to that of stage IIIA patients. We proposed that stage IIB N2a2 patients should be maintained as stage IIIA.
