Once a person’s T, N, and M categories have been determined, this information is combined in a process called stage grouping to assign an overall stage. Liver cancer can be staged in 2 ways: The clinical stage is based on the results of the physical exam, biopsies (if done), and imaging tests (ultrasound, CT or MRI scan, etc.).

Background: Recently, the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) released its 8th edition changes to the staging system for hepatocellular cancer (HCC). We sought to validate the 8th edition...

2020年4月24日 · Hepatocellular carcinoma staging classifications supersede the typical TNM staging system seen in most other epithelial cancers, as the TNM staging system has been found to not be as prognostically useful for stratification of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

There are 4 main T stages – T1 to T4. The T stage depends on: If you have surgery to remove your cancer, a sample of liver tissue is then sent to the laboratory. A specialist will look at the cells under a microscope. This might show small (microscopic) growth of cancer cells into the vein or …

2021年8月18日 · The aims of this article are to provide an overview of the pathologic and radiologic TNM staging systems for HCC while describing staging procedures, emphasize the differences between these staging systems to highlight the limitations of radiologic-pathologic stage correlation, present a review of the literature on the prognostic value of ...

Nanashima A, Sumida Y, Abo T et al. Modified Japan Integrated Staging is currently the best available staging system for hepatocellular carcinoma patients who have undergone hepatectomy. J Gastroenterol. 2006;41(03):250–256. doi: 10.1007/s00535-005-1751-4.

2021年7月30日 · In this article, we provide an overview of the pathologic and radiologic TNM systems for HCC while describing staging proce-dures, describe the diferences between these systems that hin-der a direct radiologic-pathologic stage comparison and may in part explain the rates of stage discordance described in the liter-ature, present a review of the ...

2024年5月2日 · Staging systems for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have not been universally adopted. One system in use is the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) tumor/node/metastasis (TNM)...
