Ce document comprend 3 recommandations.
Contenu en anglais
Synthèse
Accurate mediastinal nodal staging is essential for the management of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), as it refines prognosis, guides multimodal treatment, and improves survival [2]. This joint consensus document updates and expands the 2011 SEPAR guidelines, incorporating the 9th edition of the TNM classification [2].
Messages clés
Invasive mediastinal staging is not required for T1a and T1b tumours without radiological evidence of nodal disease, regardless of their location. [1]
N1 disease is recognized as a setting associated with a high risk of unsuspected mediastinal involvement. [1]
For cases with intermediate suspicion of mediastinal disease, surgical staging techniques demonstrate superior accuracy compared with endosonography alone. [1]
The consensus integrates the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) definitions of completeness of resection and proposes quality standards for intraoperative lymphadenectomy. [1]
Nouveautés de cette version
This joint consensus document from SEPAR and SECT updates and expands the 2011 SEPAR guidelines, incorporating the 9th edition of the TNM classification and extending recommendations to the entire perioperative setting, including both preoperative and intraoperative mediastinal staging. [1]
