How Does the FIGO System Impact Treatment Decisions?
The stage of the cancer, as determined by the FIGO system, influences the choice of treatment modalities. For example, early-stage cancers (Stage I) may be treated with surgery alone, while more advanced stages (Stage III and IV) might require a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. The FIGO stage helps in tailoring the treatment plan to the individual needs of the patient.
