    Background:
    The new 8[th] AJCC/UICC lung cancer staging system was developed and validated using the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) database, which contains 94,708 lung cancer patients worldwide, but only 5% of patients in this database came from North America. The goal of this study is to validate the prognostic performance of this new staging system, focusing on the upgraded "T" and “M” parameters, in North American lung cancer patients.
    
    Methods:
    We analyzed 1,163,465 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cases collected from 2004 to 2013 in the United States in the National Cancer Database (NCDB). After excluding patients with more than one malignant primary tumor or tumor size larger than 10 cm, 545,776 NSCLC patients were included in the final data analysis. We defined 8[th] T and M parameters according to the primary coding guidelines of the Collaborative Staging Manual and Coding Instructions for the new 8[th] AJCC/UICC lung cancer staging system. Kaplan-Meier survival curves and log-rank tests were used to compare survival difference among different stage groups, and Cox regression models were used for multivariate analysis adjusting for potential confounders.
    
    Results:
    We validated that the new staging system can provide better survival prognosis for NSCLC patients in the NCDB cohort than the existing 7[th] staging system. The median survival time for T1a is 58 months (N=15,860), for T1b is 47 months (N=78,379), and for T1c is 25 months (N=79,828) (p<2e-16). The median survival time for T2a is 19 months (N=111,925), for T2b is 12 months (N=54,601), for T3 is 10 months (N=105,234), and for T4 is 7 months (N=99,949) (p<2e-16). And the median survival time for M0 is 25 months (N=411,048), for M1a is 8 months (N=49,352), for M1b is 5months (N=42,224), and for M1c is 3 months (N=15,926 cases) (p<2e-16). Multivariate analysis showed that these staging parameters are significantly associated with survival when adjusting other factors.
    
    Conclusion:
    Both upgraded “T” and “M” parameters of the 8[th] AJCC/UICC lung cancer staging systems are significantly associated with NSCLC patient survival outcomes using data from the NCDB, indicating a good validation performance in patients from North America.
