3- The DNA repair genes will recognize this damage and try to repair it:
A- the DNA repair succussed and cell turns back to normal.
B- the DNA repair cannot remove the electrophile group and cell die.
C- DNA repair fails, cell survives, mutation happens… if these mutation affects the

A

Staging

111
Q

The AJCC system uses the………… staging system

A

TNM

112
Q

113
Q

T0 in the TNM staging refers to

115
Q

For N category in the TNM , N0 means…………, whereas N1
to N3 refersto involvement of an increasing number of lymph nodes.

A

no lymph node involvement

116
Q

TNM staging can be divided into:

A

• Clinical stage (cTNM)
is based on the information obtained by physical examination, radiologic examination, and endoscopy.

• Pathologic stage (pTNM)
depends on pathologic examination of the tumor grossly and microscopically after removal of the tumor.
