      The current T3N0M0 stage includes a variety of locally advanced tumor features that may be associated with disparate outcomes after surgery and should be re-examined in the era of immunotherapy.

      • Oncologic Outcomes of Patients With Resected T3N0M0 Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

          In the eighth edition TNM staging, the T3N0M0 category represents a heterogeneous group of non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC). This study aims to compare the oncologic outcomes associated with individual T3 features. We performed a single-institution, retrospective analysis of 280 consecutive patients with pT3N0M0 NSCLC. Multivariate regression models were used to estimate associations of clinical factors with oncologic outcomes. The patients were grouped according to their T3 features into 4 prognostic groups: chest wall infiltration (CWI-PG), largest diameter >5 cm and ≤7 cm (Size-PG), presence of a satellite nodule (SN-PG), and all other T3 features.
