Previous studies of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) have demonstrated that the addition of tumor grade to the 7th American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging can provide improved prognostication and that the recently proposed 8th edition AJCC staging exhibited superior reproducibility to the 7th edition in resectable PDAC. Thus, we aimed to combine tumor grade and 8th AJCC stage t...

BACKGROUND The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system (8th edition) for prostate cancer has been published. The current study seeks to validate the prognostic performance of the changes in the new system among clinically staged prostate cancer patients registered within the surveillance, epidemiology and end results (SEER) database. METHODS SEER database (2004-2014) has been...

The 8th edition of the TNM was released in 2016 and included major revisions, especially for stage III. We aimed to compare the prognostic value of the 7th and 8th editions of the AJCC TNM classification for stage III gastric cancer. Clinical data from 1557 patients operated on for stage III gastric cancer according to the 7th edition between 2007 and 2014 were analyzed and compared using the 7...
