  1. T for extent of the primary tumor; N for involvement of lymph nodes
  2. T1: Tumor ≤ 3 cm; T2: Tumor > 3 but ≤ 5 cm or tumor involving visceral pleura, main bronchus (not carina), atelectasis to hilum; T3: Tumor > 5 but ≤ 7 cm or invading chest wall, pericardium, phrenic nerve or or separate tumor nodule(s) in the same lobe; T4: Tumor > 7 cm or tumor invading: mediastinum, diaphragm, heart, great vessels, recurrent laryngeal nerve, carina, trachea, esophagus, spine or tumor nodule(s) in a different ipsilateral lobe
  3. N0: No regional node metastasis; N1: Metastasis in ipsilateral pulmonary or hilar nodes; N2: Metastasis in ipsilateral mediastinal/subcarinal nodes; N3: Metastasis in contralateral mediastinal/hilar, or suprclavicular nodes
