20
Q

T2

A

Tumour >3 cm but 5 cm or
tumour with any of the following
features (T2 tumors with these features are classified T2a if ≤5 cm)

  • Involves main bronchus, but NOT X carina X
  • Invades visceral pleura
  • Associated with atelectasis or obstructive
    pneumonitis that extends to the hilar region
    involving part or all the lung

– T2a Tumor >3 cm but <4 cm in greatest
dimension
