General principles THIS DOCUMENT IS Clinical Management Guideline for Initial Diagnosis, pre-treatment Evaluation & Staging All patients (including those who decline, or are considered clinically not suitable for active treatment) should be registered with the appropriate Lung cancer MDT in order to ensure accurate data capture and an opportunity for peer review In advance of any patient being discussed at the specialist Lung Cancer MDT, it is important to have taken steps earliest to establish i) a definitive diagnosis ii) an indication of clinical staging (see page 10) All patients should be referred or made aware earliest to the service Lung Clinical Nurse Specialist for assessment and ongoing specialist advice, education, support and co-ordination of care for both the patient and their relatives throughout the treatment pathway: this is in addition to any other specialist referrals that may also be clinically required depending on individual patient circumstances. Key Points* For all patients either undergoing investigation for, or with a suspected/confirmed diagnosis of lung cancer: The informed wishes of individual patient must direct any decision making with respect to treatment choices within this Clinical Management Plan. The 7th edition of the TNM classification of lung cancer should be used for staging purposes The IASLC** international nodal map should be used in the assessment and staging of lymph node disease MRI or CT scanning of the head should be considered For all patients with a confirmed diagnosis of lung cancer and being considered potentially suitable for radical treatment: A CT scan of the chest, lower neck and upper abdomen with intravenous contrast medium administration should be arranged early in the diagnostic pathway Positron Emission Tomography (PET)-CT scanning should be made available. PET positive mediastinal nodes should be evaluated by further mediastinal sampling The presence of isolated distant metastases/synchronous tumours should be confirmed by biopsy or further imaging Radical treatment should be offered without further mediastinal lymph node sampling if there is no significant uptake in normal sized mediastinal lymph nodes on PET-CT scanning,. The adequacy of diagnostic and staging samples should be considered in the context of selection of patients for targeted therapy. Where there is negligible additional risk to the patient, ensure biopsy samples are taken in adequate numbers and size. Trans-bronchial Needle Aspiration (TBNA) and Endo-bronchial Ultrasound/Endoscopic Ultrasound (EBUS/EUS)-guided TBNA should be used as an initial diagnostic and staging procedure according to findings on CT or PET-CT scans. Confirm negative results obtained by TBNA and EBUS/EUS-guided TBNA by mediastinoscopy and lymph node biopsy where clinically appropriate. *Source: British Thoracic Society Guidelines on the radical management of patients with lung cancer, Thorax, 2010;65 (Supp111) ** IASLC International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer V2.3 (20160630) Page 2 of 10

Primary Tumour (T) Clinical Management Guideline for THIS DOCUMENT IS AJCC TNM Lung Cancer Staging 7 th Edition 2009 TX T0 Tis T1 T1a T1b T2 T2a T2b T3 T4 Primary tumour cannot be assessed, or tumour proven by the presence of malignant cells in sputum or bronchial washings but not visualized by imaging or bronchoscopy There is no evidence of primary tumour Carcinoma in situ Tumour 3 cm or less in greatest dimension, surrounded by lung or visceral pleura, without bronchoscopic evidence of invasion more proximal than the lobar bronchus (for example, not in the main bronchus)¹ Tumour 2 cm or less in greatest dimension Tumour more than 2 cm but 3 cm or less in greatest dimension Tumour more than 3 cm but 7 cm or less or tumour with any of the following features (T2 tumours with these features are classified T2a if 5 cm or less): involves main bronchus, 2 cm or more distal to the carina; invades visceral pleura (PL1 or PL2); associated with atelectasis or obstructive pneumonitis that extends to the hilar region but does not involve the entire lung Tumour more than 3 cm but 5 cm or less in greatest dimension Tumour more than 5 cm but 7 cm or less in greatest dimension Tumour more than 7 cm or one that directly invades any of the following: parietal pleural (PL3), chest wall (including superior sulcus tumors), diaphragm, phrenic nerve, mediastinal pleura, parietal pericardium; or tumor in the main bronchus less than 2 cm distal to the carina¹ but without involvement of the carina; or associated atelectasis or obstructive pneumonitis of the entire lung or separate tumor nodule(s) in the same lobe Tumour of any size that invades any of the following: mediastinum, heart, great vessels, trachea, recurrent laryngeal nerve, esophagus, vertebral body, carina, separate tumour nodule(s) in a different ipsilateral lobe Distant Metastasis (M) M0 No distant metastasis M1 Distant metastasis M1a Separate tumour nodule(s) in a contralateral lobe, tumour with pleural nodules or malignant pleural (or pericardial) effusion² M1b Distant metastasis (in extrathoracic organs) Regional Lymph Nodes (N) NX Regional lymph nodes cannot be assessed N0 No regional lymph node metastases N1 Metastasis in ipsilateral peribronchial and/or ipsilateral hilar lymph nodes and intrapulmonary nodes, including involvement by direct extension N2 Metastasis in ipsilateral mediastinal and/or subcarinal lymph node(s) N3 Metastasis in contralateral mediastinal, contralateral hilar, ipsilateral or contralateral scalene, or supraclavicular lymph node(s) Notes: ¹ The uncommon superficial spreading tumour of any size with its invasive component limited to the bronchial wall, which may extend proximally to the main bronchus, is also classified as T1a. ² Most pleural (and pericardial) effusions with lung cancer are due to tumour. In a few patients, however, multiple cytopathologic examinations of pleural (pericardial) fluid are negative for tumour, and the fluid is nonbloody and is not an exudate. Where these elements and clinical judgment dictate that the effusion is not related to the tumour, the effusion should be excluded as a staging element and the patient should be classified as M0.
