in TNM staging for tumors, what does T1 mean
tumor <2cm w/o extraparenchymal extension
T2 in TNM staging
tumor >2cm but not more than 4cm w/o extraparenchymal extension
T3 in TNM staging
tumor >4cm and/or having extraparenchymal extension
T4a in TNM staging
tumor invades skin, mandible, ear canal, and or fascial nerve
T4b in TNM staging
tumor invades skull base and/or pterygoid plates and/or encases carotid artery
N0 in TNM staging
no regional LN mets
N1 in TNM staging
mets in a single, ipsilateral LN <3cm
N2a in TNM staging
mets in a single ipsilateral LN >3 but less than 6cm
N2b in TNM staging
mets in multiple ipsilateral LN >6cm
N2c in TNM staging
mets in bilateral or contralateral LN, none >6cm
N3 in TNM staging
mets in LN >cm
stage 1 non-small cell lung CA:
- definition
- tx
- prognosis
tumor surrounded by lung or pleura, <2cm from carina
- surgery, adjuvant chemotharpy if needed
- 60-70% survival
stage 2 non-small cell lung CA:
- definition
- tx
- prognosis
locally advanced dz w/o mediastinal involvement
- surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy
- 40-50% survival
stage 3 non-small cell lung CA:
- definition
- tx
- prognosis
mediastinal involvement, or 2 separate tumor nodules in same lobe w/o involvement
- combine modalities of chemo, radiation, surgery
- 5-20% survival
stage 4 non-small cell lung CA:
- definition
- tx
- prognosis
metastatic
- chemo
- median survival 7 months

GOLD staging 2
Moderate
- FEV1/FVC <70%
- FEV1 b/w 50%-80% of predicted
- w/ or w/o chronic sx (cough, sputum)
GOLD staging 3
Severe
- FEV1/FVC <70%
- FEV1 b/w 30%-50% of predicted

Tx for GOLD staging 1
short acting bronchodilator
Tx for GOLD staging 2
add regular tx w/ one or more long-acting bronchodilators, add pulmonary rehab
Tx for GOLD staging 3
add inhaled corticosteroid if repeated exacerbations
Tx for GOLD staging 4
add long-term oxygen therapy if chronic respiratory failure, consider surgical tx
