M1 Lung Cancer pM1 TNM Finding v7 C88879 NCI Thesaurus Lung cancer with distant metastasis. (from AJCC 7th Ed.)
M1a Lung Cancer pM1a TNM Finding v7 C88880 NCI Thesaurus Lung cancer with separate tumor nodule(s) in a contralateral lobe; tumor with pleural nodules or malignant pleural (or pericardial) effusion. Most pleural (and pericardial) effusions with lung cancer are due to tumor. In a few patients, however, multiple cytopathologic examinations of pleural (or pericardial) fluid) are negative for tumor, and the fluid is nonbloody and is not an exudate. Where these elements and clinical judgment dictate that the effusion is not related to the tumor, the effusion should be excluded as a staging element and the patient should be classified as M0. (from AJCC 7th Ed.)
M1b Lung Cancer pM1b TNM Finding v7 C88881 NCI Thesaurus Distant metastasis. (from AJCC 7th Ed.)
