In the seventh edition of TNM Classification of Malignant Tumours (TNM) staging, the stage-IIB category for lung cancer is comprised of four factors: lymph-node metastasis, chest-wall invasion, large tumor size (> 7 cm), and same-lobe nodules. Tumors are further classified into eight sub-categories based on each TN factor or factor combinations. This study evaluated the prognostic value of each TN factor or combinations for resected stage-IIB non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
