Lung cancer staging
During this interactive hands-on workshop the participants will view complete imaging examinations (CT of chest, abdomen, brain, MRI of brain, chest, adrenals, musculoskeletal system, PET-CT, bone scintigraphy etc.) on workstations in a clinical routine setting and discuss findings with two tutors. Cases will include those with typical findings as well as pitfalls and problems. Particular atten...

The American Joint Committee TNM system provides a method for consistent reproducible description of the primary tumor (T), the status of the regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence or absence of distant metastasis (M)...
متن کاملLimited value of CT brain scans in the staging of small cell lung cancer.
Computed tomography of the brain was performed as part of the initial staging evaluation of 84 patients with small cell lung cancer. Brain scans indicative of metastatic disease were obtained in 12 (14%) patients, two of whom had no neurologic signs or symptoms. One of these had no other extrathoracic disease. Brain scans without evidence of metastatic disease were obtained in 72 patients, 58 (...
متن کاملComputed tomography in staging for lung cancer.
Computed tomography (CT) provides the most detailed imaging information, hence it is generally used as a routine imaging procedure in the tumour, node, metastasis (TNM)-staging of patients with lung cancer. However, despite the continuously ongoing process of improvement in CT scanning in which today's CT scanners combine fast acquisition, fast data reconstruction and high detail, the technique...
