TNM staging system is the common language in which oncology health professionals can communicate on the cancer extent for individual patients as a basis for decision making on treatment management and individual prognosis but can also be used, to inform and evaluate treatment guidelines, national cancer planning and research.</p> <p>More specifically, the objectives of the TNM classification are the following:</p> <ul> <li>Aid treatment planning,</li> <li>Provide an indication of prognosis,</li> <li>Assist in the evaluation of treatment results,</li> <li>Facilitate the exchange of information between treatment centres,</li> <li>Contribute to continuing investigations of human malignancies,</li> <li>Support cancer control activities, including through cancer registries.</li> </ul> <p>The TNM classification is a unified standard and is a prerequisite for ensuring the quality of care in all resource-settings. It goes beyond clinician practice and constitutes vital information for policy-makers developing or implementing cancer control and prevention plans and it is therefore important to include the TNM classification as part of cancer registration.</p> <h2><span class="text-orange">Any questions?</span></h2> <p>Please download the <strong><a href="/sites/default/files/atoms/files/E_TNM_FAQs_12_16.pdf">FAQ's page</a></strong> for answers to your questions on cancer staging.
