Radiology and the new TNM classification of tumors: the future.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The latest edition of the TNM classification of tumors reflects advances in radiologic imaging such as computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and endosonography. These modalities have increased the significance of clinical staging by enabling staging to be performed earlier. Thus, therapeutic decisions can be made before rather than during surgery. This review highlights important changes in the new TNM classification, relates them to imaging modalities, and emphasizes the role of the radiologist in clinical staging.

Pretumoral brain edema (PTBE) is one of the signs that has been less thoroughly studied, and still there is not a single consensus about its mech...
