"notes" : "**Note 1:** Distance from Carina: Assume tumor is greater than or equal to 2 centimeters (cm) from carina if lobectomy, segmental resection, or wedge resection is done.\n\n**Note 2:** Specific information about visceral pleura invasion is captured in T2 and **Site-Specific Factor 2, Visceral Pleural Invasion (VPI)/Elastic Layer**. Elastic layer involvement has prognostic significance for lung cancer.\n\n**Note 3:** Bronchopneumonia is not the same thing as obstructive pneumonitis and should not be coded as such. \n* Bronchopneumonia is an acute inflammation of the walls of the bronchioles, usually a result of spread of infection from the upper to the lower respiratory tract\n* Obstructive pneumonitis is a combination of atelectasis, bronchiectasis with mucous plugging, and parenchymal inflammation that develops distal to an obstructing endobronchial lesion\n\n**Note 4:** Atelectasis is the failure of the lung to expand (inflate) completely. This may be caused by a blocked airway, a tumor, general anesthesia, pneumonia or other lung infections, lung disease, or long-term bedrest with shallow breathing. Sometimes called a collapsed lung. \n* For staging purposes, atelectasis must present with an obstructing tumor\n\n**Note 5:** Assign the appropriate T (sub)category (T1-T3) based on the tumor size for the following descriptions\n\n Direct tumor invasion into an adjacent ipsilateral lobe\n Invasion of pleura, NOS\n Pulmonary ligament \n Tumor confined to hilus\n Tumor confined to one lung \n Tumor involving main stem bronchus\n\n Confined to lung, NOS\n Localized, NOS\n\n**Note 6:** Separate ipsilateral tumor nodes are assigned either T3 (same lobe) or T4 (different lobe). Separate tumor nodules in the contralateral lung are assigned in M (distant metastasis). \n* The absence or presence of separate tumor nodules are also coded in **Site-Specific Factor 1** \n\n**Note 7:** Pulmonary Artery/Vein: An involved pulmonary artery/vein in the mediastinum is assigned T4 (involvement of major blood vessel). However, if the involvement of the artery/vein appears to be only within lung tissue and not in the mediastinum, it is not assigned T4.\n\n**Note 8:** Vocal cord paralysis (resulting from involvement of recurrent branch of the vagus nerve), superior vena cava (SVC) obstruction, or compression of the trachea or the esophagus may be related to direct extension of the primary tumor or to lymph node involvement. The treatment options and prognosis associated with these manifestations of disease extent fall within the T4-Stage IIIB category. \n* If the primary tumor is peripheral and clearly unrelated to vocal cord paralysis, SVC obstruction, or compression of the trachea or the esophagus, code these manifestations as mediastinal lymph node involvement, N2 in regional lymph nodes, unless there is a statement of involvement by direct extension from the primary tumor\n\n**Note 9:** Opposite (contralateral) Lung: If no mention is made of the opposite lung on a chest x-ray, assume it is not involved.",
