Today I will be posting the syllabus of Week 3 of the Thoracic Oncology Course [Link is to the complete course syllabus] from The University Of Michigan via Coursera.
As I review each week’s syllabus, I’ll post that week’s syllabus.
Week 3 videos discuss Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: Staging
Here are the learning objectives for Week 3:
Learning Objectives
- Define the primary tumor (T), regional lymph node (N), and distant metastasis (M) stages in the TNM staging classification
- Define the regional lymph node stations in the IASLC classification system
- Recognize imaging features that indicate T stage and resectability status
- Recognize imaging features that indicate N and M stages
- Identify diagnostic performance of CT and FDG-PET in nodal staging
- Identify various methods of lymph node sampling and indications for their use, as well as drawbacks
Here is the syllabus for Week 3:
