Abstract
The grading and staging of prostate cancer has been an international obsession for urologists and pathologists for some time. After considerable and appropriate discussion in 1992, the TNM staging system for prostate cancer appears currently to be settled to the satisfaction of most (Table 1). As will be reported and described later in this review, however, the utilisation of the TNM system remains poor in some areas, especially in the United States.
