TNMstagingprognosisThe clinical and pathologic staging of prostate cancer involves determination of the anatomic extent and burden of tumor based on the best available data. Two major classification schemes are currently used: the modified American system and the TNM system [primary tumor (T), ...
Prostate cancer, with an incidence that is correlated to age, is the most common cancer tumor diagnosed among men older than 50 years, and an even higher incidence is found among patients older than 75. It is estimated that 234,460 men will be diagnosed
The TNM staging is the most widely used system for prostate cancer staging and assesses the extent of primary tumor (T stage), the absence or presence of regional lymph node involvement (N stage), and the absence or presence of distant metastases (M stage). From: Uropathology (Second Editio...

Neoplasm staging is a system for describing the extent of spread of tumours in patients. For example, the TNM classification of malignant tumours is a staging system used for describing the size of the primary tumour (T), if regional lymphnodes are involved (N) and the presence of metastasis...
This domain, reflected by the cancer stage and codified using the tumour-node-metastasis (TNM) classification, is a fundamental determinant of prognosis. Accurate and consistent tumour classification is required for the development and use of treatment guidelines and to enable clinical research (...
Pathological stagingis based on the extent of local disease and distant spread. The TNM system documents stage according to features of theprimary tumour(T), regional lymph nodes (N) anddistant metastasis(M). Disease limited to themucosaandsubmucosais defined as ‘early gastric cancer’; this ha...
