American Joint Committee on Cancer staging system[62]
The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system accurately correlates prognosis with disease burden, but is complex and cumbersome. It describes the extent of disease based on the following anatomic factors: size and extent of the primary tumour (T); regional lymph node involvement (N); and presence or absence of distant metastases (M).[62]
