Challenges
National Staging Strategy in Asia
Need? Interests? Knowledge? Implementation?
Objectives of Staging
- To aid clinician in planning of treatment
- To give indications of prognosis
- To assist in evaluation of results
- To support cancer control activities
- To enable sharing of experience
- To contribute to continuing research
Appropriate staging is fundamental for guiding appropriate clinical management
Best possible treatment outcome & Minimal unwarranted waste
TNM staging is basically applicable & needed in Asia
Cancers Specifically Prevalent in Asia

Challenges
National Staging Strategy in Asia
Need ! Interests ! Knowledge ! Constructing Step for Implementation
- 1. Engaging All Key Professionals
- Academic exchange to
develop best staging system
- Advocacy for national &
international unification
To establish National Committee in China
Invitation by UICC (Mar 2010) ↓ Preparatory Committee (Aug 2010) ↓ Approval by Chinese Anti-Cancer Association ↓ Approval by China Association for Science & Technology ↓ Application by Chinese Anti-Cancer Association ↓ Approval by Ministry of Civil Affairs
(Aug 2012 - Pending government approval for establishment)
- 2. Getting Government Recognition/ Support
Targets: 2020
- Sustainable delivery systems to ensure effective
cancer control in all countries
- Improve measurement of global cancer burden &
impact of cancer control interventions
