Zusammenfassung

2017 wurde eine neue TNM-Klassifikation für Lungentumoren publiziert, welche zahlreiche Änderungen mit sich bringt. Erstmals gibt es hierbei auch spezifische Regeln, wie mit multifokalen Lungentumoren umzugehen ist. Die vorliegende Arbeit fasst diese neuen Änderungen übersichtlich zusammen und gibt wichtige Anhaltspunkte für die korrekte Anwendung in der Routinediagnostik.

Abstract

Recently a new TNM classification for tumors of the lung was published, encompassing some relevant changes, for example how to deal with multiple lung tumors. This article comprehensively describes respective changes. Furthermore, background information on how the new TNM classification was built and what should be done in the future to further improve prognosis and outcome prediction is reviewed.
