What is the source of these numbers in the article? They are considerably more optimistic than numbers on the American Cancer Society webpage [1] for non-small cell lung cancer staging, which puts the five-year survival rate at 47 percent for Stage I and 26 percent for Stage II. 4.232.195.227 02:23, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
Jfdwolff suggested merging Lung cancer staging with EUS into this article. Respectfully, I oppose this suggestion. The article on EUS is long and detailed. About half of the text is more relevant to this article, but the latter half is more appropriately kept in its own separate article. Axl ( talk) 09:56, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
I initially created this article as "Non-small cell lung cancer staging" (subsequently changed to "Non-small cell lung carcinoma staging") to remove the lengthy staging description from the main article " Lung cancer". This allows "Lung cancer" to use summary style. Arcadian has moved the page to its new title. If he (or anyone else) tries to expand this currently named article into a full description of "non-small cell lung carcinoma", he will be unhelpfully duplicating information already at "Lung cancer". I propose that the article should be re-named back to either "Non-small cell lung cancer staging" or "Non-small cell lung carcinoma staging". "Non-small cell lung carcinoma" should redirect to "Lung cancer". Axl ¤ [Talk] 18:45, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
The consensus is clear. I withdraw the request. Axl ¤ [Talk] 17:12, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Personally, I respectfully suggest that - at a minimum - comprehensive individual articles should be completed on:
I have started some of these and piddled with others, and because they are in my area of interest, will probably continue working on them. Comments would be greatly appreciated.

This differs significantly between different regions, even within Western countries. For example, adenocarcinoma has a prevalence of just 27% in Europe (Cancer Research UK source), with squamous cell carcinoma the commonest subtype in Europe. Possibly some mention of this discrepancy in the article? I am unsure of how to phrase it, but currently it's a bit misleading. Yazza ( talk) 12:31, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
The large staging section seems to unbalance the article. Shouldn't we split it out it to its own article eg NSCLC staging ? Rod57 ( talk) 20:06, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
An explanation of what I did: 1. removed out of date and misquoted (unintentional but substantial) copyright material 2. added easily accessible links to the best quality sources of that copyright material 3. edited content to a standard encyclopedic(non-synthesis) viewpoint of what all this means. I have no particular viewpoint on "splitting out" or not, other than to say that staging in itself is conceptually a "language" that shapes the meaning of the rest of the article, and to that extent might be best in the body text of the article (unless it becomes too large, when of course, it can be hyperlinked, but that may result in redundancy given the edits that have reformed this section.)

A further explanation of what I did: 1. lung cancers (NSCLC, SCLC and carcinoid) are staged in the TNM system by the same schema(while there are also reasons to continue the SCLC limited vs. extensive system as well). Lung cancer staging had no adequate TNM material, ergo I moved the necessary material to the higher-level location, and added an internal WP hyperlink here. 2. a brief executive summary for interested readers, who can link to high-quality standard information.

The section DNA repair deficiency in NSCLC talks about "Deficiencies in DNA repair " says "Epigenetic gene silencing of DNA repair genes occurs frequently in NSCLC" but does not seem to say how they are acquired - eg inherited, or caused by environmental factors. Do the types and extent of deficiencies of DNA repair differ in NSCLC from SCLC or other cancers ?
