AJCC Version 9 Cancer Staging System

AJCC Moved from Editions to Versions

The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) made an important change to how it updates and releases Cancer Staging content. The AJCC shifted from a Cancer Staging Manual to a Cancer Staging System and moved away from Editions to Versions. Updated Version 9 disease sites go into effect on January 1 following their release.

AJCC Protocol for Cancer Staging Documentation, Version 9

The new AJCC Protocol Version 9 content is presented in a streamlined, easy-to-use format including synoptic staging report format, tables, explanatory notes, and illustrations. All disease sites in the 8^th Edition Cancer Staging Manual remain current until replaced with Version 9.

Current Version 9 content includes the following disease sites with their effective dates.

Where to Find AJCC Content

• Individual purchases through Amazon ebook or print
• Facility or institution through library services
• Commercial software and applications through AJCC API or AJCC DLL
