Abstract

The Seventh Edition of the TNM classification for non-small cell bronchogenic carcinomas includes a series of changes in the T and M descriptor, in particular a re-classification of malignant pleural and pericardial effusions and of separated tumor nodes, new tumour size cut-off values and sub-divisions of the T1–T2 and M1 categories. We review these corrections that led to the changes in the staging system that affects stages II–III. Furthermore, we describe and illustrate the role of the different imaging techniques in tumour staging (CT, PET, PET–CT and MRI), highlighting their respective indications, advantages and disadvantages, as well their complementary function.

Resumen

La séptima edición de la clasificación TNM para los carcinomas broncogénicos no microcíticos incluye una serie de cambios en los descriptores T y M, particularmente una reclasificación de los derrames malignos pleurales y pericárdicos y de los nódulos tumorales separados, nuevos valores de corte de tamaño tumoral y subdivisiones de las categorías T1-T2 y M1. Revisamos estas correcciones, que generan cambios en el sistema de estadificación que afectan a los estadios II-III. Además, describimos e ilustramos el papel de las diferentes técnicas de imagen en la estadificación tumoral (TC, PET, PET-TC y RM), resaltando sus respectivas indicaciones, ventajas y desventajas, así como su función complementaria.
