Stage III
non-small cell lung cancer is divided into stages IIIA and
IIIB. In stage IIIB, cancer has spread to lymph nodes above
the collarbone or in the opposite side of the chest as the
tumor. Also, (1) the tumor may be any size; (2) part of the
lung (where the trachea joins the bronchus) or the whole
lung may have collapsed or become inflamed; (3) there may
be one or more separate tumors in any of the lobes of the
lung with cancer; and/or (4) cancer may have spread to any
of the following: main bronchus, diaphragm and the nerve
that controls it, membrane around the lung, chest wall or
the membrane that lines it, trachea, carina (where the
trachea joins the bronchi), esophagus, sternum (chest
bone), backbone, heart or the membrane around it, major
blood vessels that lead to or from the heart, or the nerve
that controls the larynx (voice box). OR in stage IIIB,
cancer has spread to lymph nodes on the same side of the
chest as the tumor. Also, (1) the tumor may be any size;
(2) there may be separate tumors in different lobes of the
same lung; and/or (3) cancer has spread to any of the
following: trachea, carina, esophagus, sternum, backbone,
major blood vessels that lead to or from the heart, or the
nerve that controls the larynx.
