rTNM Retreatment classification: Based on all information available after a disease- free
interval or at the time of second- look surgery. The extent or absence of disease
recurrence is documented before retreatment planning is begun.
aTNM Autopsy classification: Based on all information available at the time of a postmortem
examination. It is helpful in answering questions about the tumor’s response to
treatment, recurrence patterns, and the extent of disease at the time of death.
The use of numerical subsets of the TNM
components indicates the progressive
extent of the malignant disease.
That’s all!
