The following paragraphs are taken from their memorandum, in order to explain the system. Full copies of U.I.C.C. report may be obtained from Prof. agr. P.F. Denoix, Institut Gustave Roussey, Villejuif, Seine, France.1.1 The International Union against Cancer has, since 1950, devoted special attention to the problem of clinical stage classification of malignant tumours.1.2 Initially, consideration of this problem was undertaken by the Committee on Tumour Nomenclature and Statistics, under the chairmanship of Dr. Isabella H. Perry (1950–1954). This Committee adopted, as a basis for its work on clinical stage classification, the general definitions of local extension of malignant tumours suggested by the W.H.O. Sub-committee on the Registration of Cases of Cancer as well as their Statistical Presentation.*1.3 In July 1953, in Copenhagen, the Committee on Tumour Nomenclature and Statistics held a joint meeting with the Committee on Stage-grouping in Cancer and Presentation of the Results of Treatment of Cancer of the International Congress of Radiology at which an agreement was reached on a general technique for staging and on a provisional draft for the clinical staging of cancer of the breast, cervix uteri and larynx. The Joint Committee invited the International Union against Cancer to continue this work with the object of:(a) Drafting a precise classification for cancer of the breast, cervix uteri and larynx;(b) extending the general technique to cancer of certain other sites.
