well, from what I've read, the Tnm staging system is pretty widely used in cancer staging, like colorectal cancer. It takes into account the dimension of the tumor (t), whether it has spread to nearby lymph nodes (n), and if it has metastasized to faraway organs (m). but I surprise if it's comprehensive adequate to accurately reflect the progression of colorectal cancer.
