Excerpt

Wankhede1 has performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies validating the eighth edition of the tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) classification of lung cancer, which took effect in 2017. It is important to validate that stage classification actually works when applied in different independent datasets. Indeed, the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) Staging and Prognostic Factors Committee (SPFC) that developed the eighth edition of lung cancer stage classification explicitly called for others to conduct such studies. Therefore, this is an important undertaking, especially because work on the development of revisions to the eighth edition are underway, with the nineth edition scheduled to replace it in 2024. …
