Computed tomography is the method of<unk>  for the diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma of the lung. On CT, findings of squamous cell carcinoma of the lung will depend on the location of the tumor. Characteristic findings include ground-glass opacity, rounded or spiculated mass, local nodal involvement, intraluminar obstruction, and lobar collapse. The staging of lung cancer is based on the TNM classification of lung cancer. Lung cancer staging is an assessment of the degree of spread of cancer from its original source. It is an important factor affecting the prognosis and potential treatment of lung cancer. Non-small cell lung carcinoma is staged from IA ("one A", best prognosis) to IVB ("four B", worst prognosis). Biopsy findings associated with squamous cell carcinoma of the lung include prominent nucleoli, eosinophilic cytoplasm, and intracellular bridges. Different sub-types of lung tissue biopsy for squamous cell carcinoma of the lung, include: needle biopsy, open biopsy, and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.
