The TNM classification system is important, but it does have some challenges in studying tumors:
Complexity: It can be tough to grasp the details about tumor size (T), whether lymph nodes are affected (N), and if the cancer has spread (M).
Different Opinions: Different doctors may see the same information differently, which can result in mixed staging results.
Limits: This system doesn't always show how tumors behave or how well patients will do.
To tackle these problems, we need to keep learning and use set guidelines to make sure we accurately grade and stage tumors.
