Article Synopsis
- Stage at diagnosis is crucial for cancer treatment and prognosis, but data is often missing in low-income areas.
- A study with 51 registrars in sub-Saharan Africa used Essential TNM to determine the accuracy of staging 8 common cancer types from scanned records, comparing their results to expert evaluations.
- The registrars accurately assigned stages 60-80% of the time, showing moderate to substantial agreement with experts, particularly for certain cancers like cervix and oesophagus, highlighting the need for improved guidelines and training.
