The pTNM classification of the UICC which has been valid since 1978 in some sections contains unclear definitions regarding gastro-intestinal tumours which require interpretation. In practice, this leads to variations in opinions and to a lack of uniform classification of tumour spread. The uniform measures which we have undertaken since 1969 at the University of Erlangen were described and explained. In the meantime these measures have been adopted by the DSK (German-Speaking National TNM Committee) and will to a large extent appear in the fourth edition of the TNM classification of the UICC.
国际抗癌联盟（UICC）的pTNM分类自1978年起在某些方面有效，但其中关于胃肠道肿瘤的定义不明确，需要进行解读。在实践中，这导致了观点的差异以及肿瘤扩散分类缺乏统一性。文中描述并解释了自1969年以来我们在埃尔朗根大学所采取的统一措施。与此同时，这些措施已被德语国家TNM委员会（DSK）采纳，并将在很大程度上体现在UICC TNM分类的第四版中。
