摘要

The Tumor, Node, Metastasis（TNM） staging system,adopted by the Union for International Cancer Control（UICC） and the American Joint Committee on Cancer（AJCC）, has been recently revised, with the new 8th edition of the staging manual being published in January 2017. This edition has few but important evidencebased changes to the TNM staging system used for lung cancer. Radiologists should be aware of the updated classification system to accurately provide staging information to oncologists and oncosurgeons. In this article, we discuss the rationale, illustrate the changes with relevance to Radiology, and review the clinical implications of the 8th edition of the UICC/AJCC TNM staging system with regards to lung cancer.
