The 7th Edition of the TNM classification was published by the International Union Against Cancer and the American Joint Committee on Cancer in early 2009. The changes from the 6th Edition were based on proposals from the International Staging Project of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer. Accordingly, the General Rules for the Clinical and Pathological Definitions of Lung Cancer (7th Edition) of the Japan Lung Cancer Society were revised. In this paper, we discuss the issues regarding the 7th Edition of the TNM clinical staging for lung cancer based from the standpoint of diagnostic imaging.
