Description

Case records of histologically proven 2, 493 patients with lung cancer were submitted for analysis for the purpose of the establishment of TNM staging on a basis of a prospective field study which was carried out cooperatively at 87 participating institutions in Japan during the period 1972 to 1974.<BR>JIC·ETNM Classification (1978) was established as results of an analysis of 2, 493 cases by the existing TNM staging. As to the ranking of T1 N1 M0, wheather it would be in stage I or in stage II, our conclusion was that it would be justificable to put it into stage II.<BR>Expansive coincidence between JJC·ETNM classification (1978) and Japanese Clinical Staging System was ascertained principally.<BR>Comparison between JIC TNM classification (1978) and UICC TNM (1978) classification was tried.
