description: Profile for observations regarding cancer stage, grade, or classification. The stage is an assessment of the extent of the cancer in the body, according to a given cancer staging classification system. The key elements are the code, method, value, and optionally, prognostic factors referenced in the hasMember (if the prognostic factor is captured in a different profile) or component (if the prognostic factor is not captured in a different profile) element.
