A histochemical approach to the diagnosis of visceral pleural infiltration by non-small cell lung cancer
Although invasion of the visceral pleura (VPI) by non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a TNM-relevant diagnostic criterion and is known to affect the patients´ prognoses, until recently there were no standardized or internationally accepted guidelines. This resulted in a diagnostic ambiguity leadin...

| Zusammenfassung: | Although invasion of the visceral pleura (VPI) by non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a TNM-relevant diagnostic criterion and is known to affect the patients´ prognoses, until recently there were no standardized or internationally accepted guidelines. This resulted in a diagnostic ambiguity leading to different tumor staging systems and to hardly comparable patient collectives in research studies world wide. The major problem in this issue is to exactly define what constitutes for the diagnosis of VPI with respect to anatomical landmarks. |
