Released: TNM e-learning modules

eCancer and UICC have collaborated to produce a set of 7 modules on TNM staging for the purpose of educating and informing the global cancer community on the globally accepted classification of malignant tumours. The modules are to be used as a teaching aid and essential toolkit for those working in cancer staging.

The following modules were unveiled at the 2014 WCC and are available for download:

• Module 1: Introduction to the UICC TNM Classification System
• Module 2:  UICC TNM Breast Cancer Classification

Each module takes approximately 30 minutes to complete and includes a voice-over and interactive quiz.

By the end of each module, users should:

• know the general principles of the UICC TNM Classification of Malignant Tumours,
• understand the structure of the UICC TNM Classification 7th edition and
• be able to apply the UICC TNM Classification to different cancer sites.

Stay tuned in 2015! Modules 3-7 (on cervical, prostate colorectal, oral and lung cancers) will be released in 2015.
