- Histopathology. TNM.
- Staging system for all solid tumours was
devised by Pierre Denoix between 1943 and 1952
- Developed and maintained by the
International Union Against Cancer (UICC) to achieve consensus on one globally recognised standard for classifying the extent of spread of cancer.
- Also used by the American Joint
Committee On Cancer (AJCC) and the International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics (FIGO).
- In 1987, the UICC and AJCC staging
systems were unified into a single staging system.
- Histopathology. TNM.
Cancer staging system that describes the extent of cancer in a patient’s body.
T describes the size of the tumour and whether it has invaded nearby tissue,
N describes status of regional lymph nodes,
M describes distant metastases. Prefix modifiers
c: stage given by clinical examination of a patient. The c-prefix is implicit in absence of the p-prefix
p: stage given by pathologic examination of a surgical specimen
y: stage assessed after treatment i.e. chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy; in other words, the individual had neoadjuvant therapy
r: stage for a recurrent tumor in an individual that had some period of time free from the disease.
a: stage determined at autopsy.
- Histopathology. TNM.
- G (1–4): the grade: grade of differentiation
- R (0/1/2): the completeness of the resection/ residual
tumour
- L (0/1): invasion of lymphatic vessels
- V (0/1/2): invasion into vein
- C (1–5): a modifier of the certainty (quality) of the last
mentioned parameter
