ABSTRACT
In the past 20 years, the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) has been working on a global project to revise the TNM classification of lung cancer. The first and second phases of the staging projects proposed recommendations for revision of the TNM classification, which were adopted by the Union for International Cancer Control and the American Joint Committee on Cancer as their seventh and eighth editions of the TNM classifications of lung cancer. For the third phase of the IASLC Staging Project, a new database of lung cancer cases diagnosed between January 2011 and December 2019 has been established. The Staging and Prognostic Factors Committee of the IASLC is in charge of the process of proposing new recommendations. The newly established database consisted of 124,581 cases. The data were obtained from Asia and Australia (56.0%), Europe (24.7%), North America (15.7%), South/Central America (3.4%), and Africa and the Middle East (0.1%). After cases with incomplete data are excluded, 87,043 cases were enrolled in the analysis, of which 52,069 (59.8%) were invasive adenocarcinoma and 15,872 (18.2%) were squamous cell carcinoma. Both clinical and pathologic stages were available in 44,831 (51.5%) cases. Analyses of this database are expected to provide proposals for changing the TNM classification toward the ninth edition, which is scheduled to be in use in January 2024. This newly established global database on lung cancer is described to provide fundamental elements for revisions of the TNM rules for staging lung cancer.
