The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) has created a set of resource materials designed to provide in-depth information for doctors, medical professionals staging cancer patients, and cancer registrars abstracting cancer cases.
The 8th Edition Cancer Staging Manual brings together all the currently available knowledge on staging of cancer at various anatomic sites. This can be purchased as a hardcover or as a Kindle e-book.
Chapter 1: Cancer Staging System provides overall rules for AJCC cancer staging that apply across all tumor sites.
The Version 9 Cervix Uteri Cancer Staging System became effective as of January 1, 2021, and replaces the 8th Edition Cervix Uteri cancer site content. This is presented in a streamlined, easy-to-use format, incorporates the 2018 FIGO staging classification, as well as the WHO 2020 Classification of Tumors histology codes. Available now for purchase as an Amazon e-book or as a print paperback.
