A global language: cancer stages and TNM Classification
Listen now
Description
Most people will have heard of cancer stages 1,2,3 and 4 but may not know exactly what they mean or where they come from.
These terms form the basis of the international TNM Classification system, which describe how advanced a cancer is when it is diagnosed.
This system has proven to be groundbreaking in healthcare, as it allows doctors to explain the cancer to their patients, prescribe the appropriate treatment plan, and improve information sharing and research across populations and regions.
The Union for International Cancer Control has pioneered the TNM Classification for the past 50 years.
With us for this next episode of Let's Talk Cancer is Dr Mary Gospodarowicz, UICC Past-president and Co-chair of the UICC TNM Project.
