Overview
Staging schemes for small cell lung cancer (SCLC) have been developed by the Veterans Administration Lung Study Group (VALG), the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC), and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN). The Veterans Administration Lung Study Group (VALG) staging scheme is the oldest among the three staging schemes. Although the AJCC staging scheme is newer than that of the VALG, clinicians commonly use the VALG staging system because it has been referred to in most clinical trials. The NCNN combines the AJCC (TNM) staging scheme with the VALG staging scheme.
Veterans Administration Lung Study Group (VALG) Staging
The Veterans Administration Lung Study Group (VALG) staging, also known as VA staging, is an old staging system that has been previously used in most clinical trials. Shown below is a table depicting the VA staging system which classifies SCLC into two stages.[1]
Stage | Characteristics |
Limited SCLC | Limited SCLC is characterized by the strict involvement of the ipsilateral lung. |
Extensive SCLC | Extensive SCLC extends beyond the ipsilateral lung and may involve the contralateral lung, or can be associated with pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or hematogenous spread. |
American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) Tumor, Node, and Metastasis (TNM) Staging
Shown below is a table summarizing the staging of lung cancer according to the AJCC. this staging scheme is the same for both SCLC and non small cell lung cancer.[2]
For more information about the TNM staging, click here.
Stage | T | N | M |
Occult carcinoma | TX | N0 | M0 |
Stage 0 | Tis | N0 | M0 |
Stage IA | T1 | N0 | M0 |
Stage IB | T2 | N0 | M0 |
Stage IIA | T1 | N1 | M0 |
Stage IIB | T2 | N1 | M0 |
T3 | N0 | M0 | |
Stage IIIA | T1, T2 | N2 | M0 |
T3 | N1, N2 | M0 | |
Stage IIIB | Any T | N3 | M0 |
T4 | Any N | M0 | |
Stage IV | Any T | Any N | M1 |
National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Staging
The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) staging system combines the AJCC (TNM) staging with the VALG staging scheme. Although the AJCC staging scheme is newer than the VALG staging, clinicians commonly use the VALG staging system because it has been commonly referred to in clinical trials. Shown below is a table depicting the NCNN staging which classifies SCLC into two stages.[3]
Stage | Characteristics |
Limited SCLC | Limited SCLC includes lung cancer cases of stage I, II, or III which can be treated with radiation therapy. This stage does not include tumor T3 or T4 with multiple lung nodules, as well as tumor or lymph nodes that are too large to fit in the radiation plan. |
Extensive SCLC | Extensive SCLC includes all SCLC categorized as stage IV, or Tumor T3 or T4 with multiple lung nodules, or |
