[Prognosis of stage II and III breast cancer in women and critique of various aspects of the TNM system]
Abstract
A five-year survival study has been made on 383 patients with breast cancer belonging to the stages II and III of the TNM classification. After the results we consider advisable making a subdivision of these stages forming groups of patients having a similar prognosis in order to apply a statistical treatment to a more homogeneous group and set the treatment on a prognosis basis. In addition it has been considered convenient to transfer the patients classified as T3N0M0 of stage III to stage II attending to their prognosis. Finally, a TNM classification including said concepts is proposed.
