NCIt synonyms : Stage IIIB Non-Small Cell Carcinoma of the Lung; Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, Stage IIIB; Stage IIIB Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma; Non Small Cell Lung Cancer Stage IIIB; Stage IIIB Non-Small Cell Carcinoma of Lung; Stage IIIB Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer; Stage IIIB NSCLC; Stage IIIB Non-Oat Cell Lung Carcinoma; Stage IIIB Non-Oat Cell Carcinoma of Lung; Stage IIIB Non-Oat Cell Carcinoma of the Lung; Stage IIIB Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer AJCC v7;
NCIt definition : Stage IIIB includes: (T1a, N3, M0); (T1b, N3, M0); (T2a, N3, M0); (T2b, N3, M0); (T3,
N3, M0); (T4, N2, M0); (T4, N3, M0). T4: Lung cancer with a tumor of any size that
invades any of the following: mediastinum, heart, great vessels, trachea, recurrent
laryngeal nerve, esophagus, vertebral body, carina, and separate tumor nodule(s) in
a different ipsilateral lobe. N2: Lung cancer with metastasis to ipsilateral mediastinal
and/or subcarinal lymph nodes. N3: Lung cancer with metastasis to contralateral mediastinal,
contralateral hilar, ipsilateral or contralateral scalene, or supraclavicular lymph
nodes. M0: No distant metastasis. (AJCC 7th ed.);
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: Stage III non-small cell lung cancer is divided into stages IIIA and IIIB.
In stage IIIB, cancer has spread to lymph nodes above the collarbone or in the opposite
side of the chest as the tumor. Also, (1) the tumor may be any size; (2) part of the
lung (where the trachea joins the bronchus) or the whole ung may have collapsed or
become inflamed; (3) there may be one or more separate tumors in any of the lobes
of the lung with cancer; and/or (4) cancer may have spread to any of the following:
main bronchus, diaphragm and the nerve that controls it, membrane around the lung,
chest wall or the membrane that lines it, trachea, carina (where the trachea joins
the bronchi), esophagus, sternum (chest bone), backbone, heart or the membrane around
it, major blood vessels that lead to or from the heart, or the nerve that controls
the larynx (voice box). OR in stage IIIB, cancer has spread to lymph nodes on the
same side of the chest as the tumor. Also, (1) the tumor may be any size; (2) there
may be separate tumors in different lobes of the same lung; and/or (3) cancer has
spread to any of the following: trachea, carina, esophagus, sternum, backbone, major
blood vessels that lead to or from the heart, or the nerve that controls the larynx.;
