FIGO

FIGO stands for the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics. It is a worldwide organization that develops standardized systems to classify and stage gynecological cancers, such as cervical and ovarian cancer. This helps doctors evaluate how advanced a cancer is, plan treatment, and compare outcomes across different hospitals or countries. The FIGO staging system provides a clear framework based on tumor size, spread, and involvement of nearby tissues or organs, ensuring consistent communication and improved patient care globally.
