Abstract

Despite great efforts to publish the 7th edition of the clinical TNM classification, the major aim of the International Union Against Cancer continues to create unified statistical information on the prevalence of disease in each specific case. This information can, in the general context, help specialists evaluate a tumor process, avoid disagreements in the planning of treatment and in the assessment of its results, and make a prognosis, thereby favoring further investigations of malignancies.
