AB  - Cancer  staging  systems  have  been  designed  to  provide  both  physicians  and  patients  with  a  metric  for  assessing  the  extent  of  disease  and  prognosis.  Staging  systems  provide  a  universal  classification  that  describes  the  extent  of  disease.  This  classification  impacts  individual  stage-specific  treatment,  the  development  of  practice  guidelines,  and  the  design  of  clinical  research/trials.  Cancer  staging  is  therefore  the  foundation  on  which  all  clinical  cares  are  based  and  is  essential  for  the  rigorous  study  of  cancer  therapies.
