posted in: News | 0

The Second Edition of the IASLC Staging Manual in Thoracic Oncology reports on the latest revisions of the tumor, node and metastasis (TNM) classifications of thoracic malignancies, namely, lung cancer, malignant pleural mesothelioma, carcinoma of the esophagus and of the esophago-gastric junction and thymic epithelial tumors.

Staging lung cancer correctly ensures the best care for patients. BTOG and the IASLC are collaborating to reach lung cancer specialists in the UK and Ireland.
