Modifications to the TNM classification for bladder cancer, introduced in 1979, are described. The use of this classification was evaluated in 106 new patients. It proved to be satisfactory for in situ and papillary tumours but major problems occurred in attempting to separate superficially invasive from deeply invasive tumours. Several aspects of this classification require further consideration and modifications are proposed.
本文描述了1979年引入的膀胱癌TNM分类法的修订情况。对106例新患者使用该分类法进行了评估。结果表明，该分类法对原位癌和乳头状肿瘤是令人满意的，但在试图区分浅表浸润性肿瘤和深部浸润性肿瘤时出现了重大问题。该分类法的几个方面需要进一步考虑，并提出了修订建议。
