Abstract
Staging classification is essential in cancer management and is based on three components: tumor extent (T), lymph node involvement (N), and distant metastatic disease (M). For thymic epithelial malignancies, clinical Tumour, Node, Metastasis (cTNM) staging is primarily determined by imaging, making radiologists integral to clinical practice, treatment decisions, and maintaining the quality of staging databases. The ninth edition of the TNM classification for thymic epithelial tumors will be implemented in January 2025. This review outlines the definitions for the TNM categories in the updated edition, provides examples, and elaborates on the radiologist's role and imaging considerations.
期刊介绍：
Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI is directed to all physicians involved in the performance and interpretation of ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging procedures. It is a timely source for the publication of new concepts and research findings directly applicable to day-to-day clinical practice. The articles describe the performance of various procedures together with the authors'' approach to problems of interpretation.
