摘要

隨著癌症治療技術不斷的革新，以及現代治療技術有許多不同的選擇，使得預後因子顯的更加重要。因此國際抗癌組織(International Union Against Cancer, UICC)在1933年開始了對惡性腫瘤預後因子的研究計畫。疾病解剖的範圍和組織型態為腫瘤病人最重要的預後指標，同時也是選擇治療最主要的標準。但是它們無法提供充足有利的預後評估，有許多其他因子對於腫瘤病人的預後有極深的影響。本篇文章最主要的目的是提供預後因子思考的架構、預後因子臨床的利用和方法學的介紹。

With the innovation in cancer treatment and the trend of modem oncology toward a great number of differentiated treatment options, prognostic factor assessment has become more important. Thus, in 1993, the International Union Against Cancer (UICC) began a program of researching prognostic factors in malignant tumors. The anatomic extent of disease and histological type are generally the most important indicators of prognosis cancer patients and provide the main criteria for selecting therapy, they may not be sufficient to provide a powerful prognostic assessment. It has been recognized that other factors have a profound impact on prognosis of cancer patients. The purpose of this paper is to provide the framework for the consideration of prognostic factor, the application of prognostic factor to clinical practice, and deal with methodology of studying.
