A comparison of T2a less than 3 cm (T2a by descriptor other than size, i.e., visceral pleura invasion) versus cases of similar size (T1b 2–3 cm) indicated that T2a cases are appropriately in a higher risk category Pathologically and clinically staged tumors greater than 5 cm but equal to or less than 7 cm aligned better with a T3 prognosis than with a T2b Tumors classified as T3 by size greater than 7cm had a survival similar to that of T4 tumors

Involvement of main bronchus, regardless of distance to carina, does not seem to increase risk after adjusting for tumor size T2 main bronchus is similar to other T2 cases, and T3 main bronchus does not show significant increased risk over T2

Recommendations 1. Maintain the use of the current M1a category, including any of the following descriptors: (a) pleural/pericardial effusion, (b) contralateral/bilateral tumor nodules, (c) pleural/pericardial nodules, and (d) multiple M1a descriptors. J Thorac Oncol 2015;10: 1515–1522
2. Reclassify the current M1b category for patients with a single metastatic lesion in a single organ site, for example: (a) brain, (b) liver, (c) bone, (d) distant lymph node/ skin/peritoneum, and (e) adrenal gland. Categorization of localization of single lesions in a single organ should be prospectively tested based on the individually involved organ. J Thorac Oncol 2015;10: 1515–1522
CT T NSCLC - RUL M MRI Brain Metastasis
3. Introduce the new M1c category for patients with (a) multiple lesions in a single organ or (b) multiple lesions in multiple organs. Comparable with the data now available for the influence of tumor volume in the T descriptors, it is recommended to prospectively register in detail (a) the number of metastatic lesions and (b) the number of involved organs.
