Answer 1

The TNM classification is a globally recognised standard for classification of the extent to which the cancer spread. TNM staging is defined as a system describing the stage of cancer, which originates from a solid tumor using the alpha numerical codes.

TNM stands for:

* T describes the size of the original or primary tumor

*N describes the regional lymph odes involved

* M describes the distant metastasis involving the other tissues

2. In Sarah's case the tumor is in the T stage so score is 1

3. No any lymph ode enlargement so score is 0

4. No distant metastasis so score is 0
