The importance of precise pT diagnosis for prognostic prediction of uterine cervical cancer—a single institutional report at a Japanese comprehensive cancer hospital
Virchows Archiv, 09/30/09

TNM has many pitfalls that lead incorrect classifications and destroys the prognostic significance of T. In cervical cancer, the pitfall lurks in microinvasive carcinoma and T2. Not only uterine cervical cancer but cancers of other tumor sites will have similar problems which need to be clarified.
