Research Notes on Prostate Cancer Stages
Prostate cancer staging is the process by which physicians evaluate the spread of prostate cancer. This is important because in a good cancer staging system, the stage of disease helps determine prognosis and assists in selecting therapies. A combination of physical examination, blood tests, and medical imaging is used to determine the clinical stage; if tissue is obtained via biopsy or surgery, examination of the tissue under a microscope can provide pathological staging. ...more from Wikipedia
Fast Facts:
- Results from staging and grading the cancer provide information a cancer team can use to define a treatment plan.1
- A prostate cancer’s stage indicates how far it has spread within the prostate, to nearby tissues, and to other organs.2
- The most common systems that are used to stage prostate cancer are the ABCD system and the TNM system.3
