Over the past two decades, the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) Staging Project has been a steady source of evidence-based recommendations for the TNM classification for lung cancer published by the Union for International Cancer Control and the American Joint Committee on Cancer. The Staging and Prognostic Factors Committee of the IASLC is now issuing a call for participation in the next phase of the project, which is designed to inform the ninth edition of the TNM classification for lung cancer. Following the case recruitment model for the eighth edition database, volunteer site participants are asked to submit data on patients whose lung cancer was diagnosed between January 1, 2011, and December 31, 2019, to the project by means of a secure, electronic data capture system provided by Cancer Research And Biostatistics in Seattle, Washington. Alternatively, participants may transfer existing data sets. The continued success of the IASLC Staging Project in achieving its objectives will depend on the extent of international participation, the degree to which cases are entered directly into the electronic data capture system, and how closely externally submitted cases conform to the data elements for the project.

IASLC 肺癌分期项目：再次呼吁参与

在过去的二十年里，国际肺癌研究协会 (IASLC) 分期项目一直是国际癌症控制联盟和美国联合委员会发布的肺癌 TNM 分类的循证建议的稳定来源关于癌症。IASLC 的分期和预后因素委员会现在正在呼吁参与该项目的下一阶段，该项目旨在为肺癌 TNM 分类的第九版提供信息。按照第八版数据库的病例招募模式，志愿者站点参与者被要求将2011年1月1日至2019年12月31日期间被诊断出肺癌的患者的数据通过安全、由华盛顿西雅图癌症研究和生物统计学提供的电子数据捕获系统。或者，参与者可以转移现有的数据集。IASLC 分期项目在实现其目标方面的持续成功将取决于国际参与的程度、案例直接输入电子数据采集系统的程度以及外部提交的案例与项目数据元素的紧密程度.
