To date, the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) TNM staging system has been periodically updated for prognostic evaluation of SBAs, which only takes the depth of tumor invasion (T), number of metastatic lymph nodes (N), and distant metastasis (M) into consideration. Other independent fa...

tumour stagingTNMprognostic and predictive factorsColorectal cancer is a common clinical problem and a major contributor to the pathologist's workload. There are a number of important inherited syndromes leading to the disease and study of these has contributed significantly to our understanding of the...
The tumor, nodes, and metastasis (TNM) staging of the tumors was adapted from the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) Cancer Staging Manual, 8th edition [10]. 2.1. Statistical analysis Continuous variables are expressed using median and range/mean ± standard deviation. The Mann–Whitney ...
Figure 1 shows the complement of the Kaplan–Meier curves for TNM staging. The 3-year survival rate for stage 0/I, II, III, and IV disease was 93.4%, 73.1%, 50.9%, and 15.1%, respectively. As the tumour stage advanced, the survival rate progressively decreased....

Survival was calculated based on TNM (tumor extent, lymph node status, metastases staging) staging and comparing between our current and previous series. RESULTS: Twenty-nine patients (ten females and 19 males) were identified and followed for a median of 2 years. The median age at onset of ...
PURPOSEThe American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging manual has introduced a TNM staging classification for jejunal-ileal (midgut) neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). This classification has not been validated in a population consisting solely of midgut NETs. The purpose of this study was to test...
Patients with PJS may suffer from polyp-related symptoms caused by gastrointestinal intussusception, obstruction, or infarction in addition to an increased risk of cancer38. MRE or MR enteroclysis could be used for periodic small bowel surveillance39. MR enteroclysis was found to have comparable di...
Esophageal cancer is normally staged according to the recommendations of the American Joint Commission on Cancer or TNM classification. There are several imaging modalities used in the evaluation of patients with esophageal cancer including a barium-swallow examination, endoscopy, EUS, CT, and PET. ...
