TNM v1.0
TNM v1.0 is now available.
The TNM staging algorithm contains the data items and descriptions necessary to collect T, N and M stage components, as well as other data items required to calculate Clinical and Pathologic Stage Groups. In addition, this algorithm calculates a combined stage group. It also contains the data item definitions for the associated Predictive and Prognostic Factors on a schema specific basis. Staging information is collected for site and histology combinations that are not defined in TNM in order to support SEER Summary Stage calculations (these calculations will not be implemented for diagnosis year 2016).
The initial release includes Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) TNM Classification of Malignant Tumor 7th edition.
