摘要
Cancer staging is a core principle in understanding the severity of patients' clinical condition, predicting the outcome, and planning adequate treatment. Staging is necessary for explaining epidemiologic changes, defining the disease at presentation, and evaluating the overall impact of new therapies. In essence, it assigns patients to prognostic groups that require specific treatments. The steps of staging typically begin by establishing the histopathologic diagnosis, according to the tumor cell type, and assessing prognosis based on extent of disease and other known prognostic parameters. Recently, the presence of various molecular genetic alterations has been used in the establishment of prognosis and even staging classification in some tumors but gynecologic cancers have continued to rely on physical, radiographic and surgical findings.
