Abstract
Objective: In 2009, a new TNM staging system was published by the International Union Against Cancer and the American Joint Committee on Cancer. The new edition will encompass non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, and bronchopulmonary carcinoids. This article will review many important changes that have been made in the revised staging system.
Conclusion: It is important that radiologists learn the new system and understand the reasons for the changes to provide more accurate clinical staging.
