Tumor node metastasis staging system

SERD selective estrogen receptor dowmegulator SERM selective estrogen receptor modulators TAC paclitaxel, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide (regimen) TNM tumor-node-metastasis staging system... [Pg.2361]

Many tumors are staged according to the tumor, nodes, metastases (TNM) system. Metastases are cancer cells that have spread to sites distant from the primary tumor site and have started to grow. The most frequently occurring sites of metastasis of solid tumors are the brain, bone, liver, and lungs. [Pg.1277]

The TNM system standardizes the classification of tumors. The T stands for the stage of tumor (the higher the number, the worse the prognosis), the N stands for the number of lymph nodes that are affected by the tumor (again, the higher the number, the worse the prognosis), and M stands for the presence of metastasis (0 for none, 1 for the presence of metastatic cells). [Pg.334]
