Abstract
Cancers are staged to allow for standardised terminology,
appropriate prognosis, and worldwide communication.
Therapeutic guidelines often flow from staging data. FIGO
(International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics)
has provided a staging system since 1958. More recently,
International Union Against Cancer and the American
Joint Commission on Cancer have also generated staging
systems. As staging is based on research data and
progressive science, the staging systems need to be
revised frequently.
