TNM

TNM v1.5 is now available.

The TNM staging algorithm contains the data items and descriptions necessary to collect T, N and M stage components, as well as other data items required to calculate Clinical and Pathologic Stage Groups. In addition, this algorithm calculates a combined stage group. It also contains the data item definitions for the associated Predictive and Prognostic Factors on a schema specific basis. Staging information is collected for site and histology combinations that are not defined in TNM in order to support SEER Summary Stage calculations (these calculations will not be implemented for diagnosis year 2016).

The initial release includes Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) TNM Classification of Malignant Tumor 7th edition.

The TNMStagingCSharp_v10.zip contains the TNM Staging DLL and associated files. For more information, please reference the accompanying readme.txt file. Detailed documentation on how to use the DLL can be found in the wiki.

The files CS_02_05_50.zip and TNM_15.zip include the algorithm data needed for using either Collaborative Stage or TNM schema. Please see these examples in the wiki on how to load either Collaborative Stage or TNM using the library.
