TNM Classification of Malignant Tumours, 7th Edition provides the
latest, internationally agreed-upon standards to describe and
categorize cancer stages and progression. Published in affiliation
with the International Union Against Cancer (UICC), this authoritative
guide contains important updated organ-specific classifications that
oncologists and other professionals who manage patients with cancer
need to accurately classify tumours for staging, prognosis and
treatment. The major alterations addressed in the 7th Edition concern
carcinomas of the oesophagus and the gastroesophageal junction,
stomach, lung, appendix, biliary tract, skin, and prostate. In
addition, there are several entirely new classifications:
gastrointestinal carcinoids (neuroendocrine tumours) gastrointestinal
stromal tumour upper aerodigestive mucosal melanoma Merkel cell
carcinoma uterine sarcomas intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma adrenal
cortical carcinoma. A new approach has also been adopted to separate
anatomical stage groupings from prognostic groupings in which other
prognostic factors are added to T, N, and M categories. These new
prognostic groupings, as well as the traditional anatomical groupings,
are presented for oesophageal and prostate carcinomas. Visit
