Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

A reproducibility study on invasion in small pulmonary adenocarcinoma according to the WHO and a modified classification, supported by biomarkers.

Lung cancer (Amsterdam, Netherlands)·2025

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • The International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) collaborated on updated lung cancer staging.
  • The 7th edition of the tumor, node, metastasis (TNM) classification manual is forthcoming.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review changes in the TNM staging criteria for lung cancer.
  • To discuss challenges pathologists will encounter with the new lung cancer staging manual.

Main Methods:

  • Review of the IASLC's published recommendations for the 7th edition TNM manual.
  • Analysis of proposed changes to tumor, node, and metastasis criteria.

Main Results:

  • The 7th edition TNM manual introduces revised criteria for staging lung cancer.
  • Key areas of change include tumor measurement, distinguishing multiple primaries from metastases, and assessing visceral pleural invasion.

Conclusions:

  • Pathologists must adapt to new guidelines for accurate lung cancer diagnosis and staging.
  • Understanding these changes is crucial for consistent application of the 7th edition TNM classification.
