[TNM classification of ophthalmic malignant tumors].
The present TNM classification of ophthalmic malignant tumors (lid cancer, malignant melanoma of the lid, conjunctival cancer, conjunctival malignant melanoma, uveal malignant melanoma, retinoblastoma, orbital sarcoma and lacrimal gland cancer) has been explained according to the UICC in a book edited by M. H. Harmer and J. A. Oosterhuis. Five studies concerning the difference in clinical results with and without a treatment were shown to confirm the meaning and importance of TNM classification of ophthalmic malignancies.
