Cancer staging is critical in determining the extent of disease spread and planning appropriate treatment strategies. Imaging technologies such as CT, MRI, and PET scans are instrumental in assessing the size and location of the primary tumor, involvement of lymph nodes, and the presence of metastases. Accurate staging through imaging helps oncologists to classify cancer according to the Tumor, Node, Metastasis (TNM) system, guiding treatment protocols and predicting outcomes.
