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.

In the fourth stage Mesothelioma treatment is changing the focus to the end of life care and emotional support and management of physical symptoms. Surgery may provide temporary relief of pain, but is not recommended for this late stage of malignant mesothelioma to conduct surgery.

Phase III tumor had much less favorable prognosis for first and second stages and treatment options mesothelioma is often used to focus on to maximize comfort and reduce the symptoms of pain to the patient.
The third stage is known as mesothelioma by the extent to which the cancer has spread from its original location to other parts of the body, for example, the third stage pleural mesothelioma can be seen through local invasion of tumors in the chest wall. It is permissible for a small invasion of tumors in the lining of the heart also set the third stage mesothelioma. If the affected lymph nodes or abdominal cavity on the same side of the primary tumor and the doctor will probably confirm the diagnosis of the third phase.

It is known that mesothelioma may affect the lungs, pleural and pericardial heart or the abdominal peritoneum. Extent of mesothelioma
determines what treatment options are available. Second stage of the cancer,
and mesothelioma treatment strategies are similar to some extent to that of the first phase
Many of the patients and called for forms of cancer in the
lining of the lungs and pleura, for example, in the second stage of pleural mesothelioma, cancer may have spread in the lining of the chest wall and the
lining of the diaphragm, and the lining of the heart sac. However, because the
cancer has not spread so far throughout the body, may be available cures. At
this stage, and patients usually have a pleural mesothelioma surgical options
that may be the preferred option.

The first phase is the first of four stages of the cancer
mesothelioma. Diagnosis of mesothelioma means that the first stage of cancer in
the beginning did not progress and the outlook is much better than it was in
the later stages. At this stage, however, patients typically have no symptoms.
For this reason it is very rare to be diagnosed before the advanced stages.
Required further testing to determine the stage of the
cancer to diagnose mesothelioma. Depending on the type of mesothelioma, you may
be using different methods of testing. Diagnostic tools to assess whether the
cancer is in Phase I, Phase II, Phase III or Phase IV.

Butchart staging system
The development of this system in 1976 by Dr. Eric Bouchard, has undergone more than 35 years on this system, they are still more ways that can be relied upon in the opinion of most surgical oncology in the United States, so as to accuracy and ease of measuring the progress of mesothelioma in the body , this system can also identify the location of the tumor in the patient's body.
