Hi fellow students:
I am studying gynecologic cancers now and I keep running across the phrase "surgical staging" but nowhere can I find it exactly defined. I mean, obviously it involved a surgery of a cancer patient, and somehow figuring out via the surgery what stage they are at, but I want particulars of the process. Do you stage visually? Do you stage by sending all the specimens to pathology? ??
