TSCC is an orphan malignancy with a poor prognosis. TNM staging may be superior to Masaoka staging as a predictor of TSCC patient prognosis. Surgery is the mainstay of TSCC treatment. Video-assisted thoracoscopy (VATS) should be considered for selected patients. Multimodal therapy was associated with excellent results for patients with advanced TNM stage, particularly when surgery was accompanied by adjuvant chemoradiation.
