DEF

The classification of the severity of a disease in stages on the basis of the signs and symptoms and the paraclinical tests.

CONT

Assessment of the body burden and spread of cancer by clinical means(staging) is important in developing the treatment plan. Most staging systems assess the size of the primary tumor and define regional lymph node involvement, as well as the presence or absence of distant metastatic disease. It is important to distinguish between clinical and pathologic staging and to recognize that pathologic staging employing surgical biopsy is generally more accurate.

DEF

The state of evolution of a cancer as determined by coded data (site, size, spread, lymph node involvement (adenopathy, metastases).

OBS

Staging :-Stage O : cancer in situ.-Stage I : invasive cancer : small primary tumor without adenopathy or metastase. Stage I corresponds to local spread.-Stage II : more extensive local spread with limited lymph node invasion. Stage II corresponds to regional lymphatic spread.-Stage III :tumor extending beyond the organ involved and/or associated with major adenopathy.-Stage IV : inoperable tumor because it has spread too extensively, with or without detectable locoregional adenopathy or metastases. Stages III and IV are metastatic stages.
