Stage, tumor node metastasis (TNM) staging system. ¶ N (normal), normal/benign prostate tissue; T (Tumor), malignant prostate tissue. ∥ Gleason grade, grading system to describe degree of differentiation of tumor tissue cells. Gleason grading was applied to the slide of tissue used for la...
Some experienced physicians have noted that lack of attention to detail in assessing a man’s clinical status may lead to inaccurate TNM staging and thus suboptimal treatment. Men in the midst of prostate cancer diagnosis and staging should ask lots of questions of their medical team and be ...
The TNM staging system was used to describe the extent of PCa in patients (based on the AJCC Cancer Staging Manual, Seventh Edition, 2010, Springer New York, Inc.). TNM stages IIA and IIB were considered TNM stage II. All samples in this study were collected prior to hormone treatment ...
Hazard Ratios (HR) are adjusted for age, race, marital status, PSA, Gleason score, Stage, AJCC staging (TNM), therapy, bone metastasis. The model for prostate cancer specific mortality treats non-prostate cancer deaths as censored observation. Full size table SEER survival analysis Multivariable ...
The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) tumor, node, metastasis (TNM) 2018 staging classification for prostate cancer is shown in the table (seeTable.Localized Prostate Cancer Staging Guidelines, Tumor).

(AD) or taxane- based chemotherapy is based on pretreatment clinical factors, including the absolute value and doubling time of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), tumour stage (TNM staging), pathologic Gleason score (GS) and performance status (Nichol et al, 2005; Wo et al, 2009; Armstrong et...
The comparisons of the gene expression profile among BPH and TNM staging system for cancer cases (T1, T2, and T3) are demonstrated in Fig. 2. The AR gene presented similar behavior with higher levels in PCa samples but in pT2 and pT3 stages it was approximately 30% lower than in pT1...
Staging is the classification of the extent of the disease. There are several types of staging methods. The tumor, node, metastases (TNM) system classifies cancer by tumor size (T), the degree of regional spread or lymph node involvement (N), and distant metastasis (M). The stage is dete...
