Comments
Guide for use:
It is recommended that the TNM Classification of Malignant Tumours (International Union Against Cancer (UICC)) or the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) Cancer Staging Manual be used whenever it is applicable. The classifications published in the AJCC Cancer Staging Manual are identical to the TNM classifications of the UICC.
TNM is not applicable to all tumour sites. Staging is of limited use in some cancers, for example, haematological malignancies. In these cases use the most appropriate classification system.
The Cancer Council Australia and Australian Cancer Network Guidelines for the prevention, early detection and management of colorectal cancer (2005, pp. 159-162) support the use of the Australian Clinico-Pathological Staging (ACPS) System. They recommend that both TNM and ACPS staging data be recorded to enable national and international comparisons. A table of correspondences between ACPS and TNM classifications is available.
The current edition of each staging scheme should be used.

Comments:Collected to identify which classification system is used to determine the extent of cancer at the time of diagnosis. Cancer stage is an important determinant of treatment and prognosis, and is used to evaluate new treatments and analyse outcomes. Survival analysis is adjusted by stage at diagnosis and distribution of cancer cases by type and stage.
