目前由美国癌症联合委员会（AJCC）和国际癌症控制联盟/TNM委员会（UICC/TNMC）批准的用于癌症分类和分期的TNM系统主要是为患者护理设计的，在这种情况下，它同样适用于临床研究、社区医院和发展中国家的患者。在使用方面的灵活性已在适用的情况下通过伸缩格式实现，允许只使用案例较少的主要标题，并将主要标题扩展到案例较多的较小子集，从而可以比较来自世界任何地方的两种类型的数据。你们中的许多人都参与了这个系统的开发，可以理解世界范围内的协议在分期中的价值，以及达成协议所固有的问题。这是一个涉及两代人的漫长过程
The current TNM system for classification and staging of cancer approved by both the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) and the Union Internationale Contre le Cancer/TNM Committee (UICC/TNMC) is designed primarily for patient care and, in this context, is equally applicable to patients in clinical research, community hospitals, and developing countries. Flexibility in its use has been accomplished with a telescoping format where applicable, permitting the use of only major headings with fewer cases and ramification of the major headings to smaller subsets with larger numbers of cases, allowing for comparison of both types of data from anywhere in the world. TNM HISTORICAL NOTES Many of you in the audience have participated in the development of this system and can appreciate the value of worldwide agreement in staging as well as the problems inherent in reaching agreement. It has been a long process involving a legion of two generations
