Abstract

Introduction: A lymph node map is the pillar on which accurate assignment and documentation of nodal classification stands. The International Thymic Malignancy Interest Group created the first map for thymic epithelial malignancies in conjunction with the eighth edition of the TNM classification, representing the first official TNM classification of thymic epithelial malignancies. The map was based on clinical experience and published studies, but it was largely empirical because of limited available data. Dissemination of the map and implementation of a standard thymic stage classification across the world in 2017 have provided more consistent and granular data., Methods: More than twice as many cases of node involvement are available for analysis in the current database compared with that of the eighth edition database, allowing validation of many aspects of the eighth edition map. This article details the process and considerations for refinement of the thymic map for the ninth TNM used by the Thymic Domain of the Staging and Prognostic Factors Committee of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer. The committee evaluated a large international collaborative data set, published anatomical and clinical studies pertaining to lymph node spread from thymic epithelial tumors, in conjunction with the analysis underlying refinements of the TNM components for the ninth edition TNM classification., Results: The node map boundaries of the N1 and N2 categories remain unchanged. Visual clarifications have been added to the nomenclature of nodal stations within these regions., Conclusions: On the basis of the recommendation to keep the N component unchanged for the ninth edition TNM classification, the lymph node map remains unchanged as well; however, clarifications have been added to facilitate clinical use., (Copyright © 2023 International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer.

2. The ITMIG/IASLC thymic epithelial tumors staging project: A proposed lymph node map for thymic epithelial tumors in the forthcoming 8th edition of the TNM classification of malignant tumors

Abstract

Although the presence of nodal disease is prognostic in thymic malignancy, the significance of the extent of nodal disease has yet to be defined. Lymph node dissection has not been routinely performed, and there is currently no node map defined for thymic malignancy. To establish a universal language for reporting as well as characterize the staging of this disease more accurately, an empiric node map is proposed here. This was developed using prior classification systems, series reporting specifics of nodal involvement, anatomical studies of lymphatic drainage, and preexisting node maps of the chest as defined by the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer and the neck as defined by the American Academy of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery and the American Society for Head and Neck Surgery. The development of this node map was a joint effort by the International Thymic Malignancy Interest Group and the Thymic Domain of the IASLC Staging and Prognostic Factors Committee. It was reviewed and subsequently approved by the members of ITMIG. This map will be used as an adjunct to define node staging as part of a universal stage classification for thymic malignancy. As more data are gathered using definitions set forth by this node map, a revision may be undertaken in the future., 0, SCOPUS: ar.j, SCOPUS: ar.j, info:eu-repo/semantics/published
