TNM staging system

TNM classification of malignant tumors is cancer staging system that describes the extent of cancer in the patient's body.
T describes the size of the tumor and whether it has invaded adjacent tissue or still in the stage of initially structured.
N describes regional lymph nodes involved.
M describes distant metastasis is the spread of cancer from one part to another part of the body.
We have devised a TNM staging system for all solid tumors that Denoix Pierre between 1943 and 1952, using the size and extension of primary tumor involvement and the presence of lymphatic metastases for the classification of cancer development.
