The New Edition (7) AJCC Staging System for Breast Cancer A Summary of Key Changes

چکیده
Introduction: On January 1, 2010, the new 7 edition of the AJCC staging system for breast cancer went into effect. The changes reflect advances in both management options and in prognostic information; they also reflect clarifications in definitions used in the 6 edition. Nevertheless, there are still issues in the new system that require careful reading to understand and there are some that remain controversial or vague. This lecture highlights the key AJCC changes and also offers some recommendations for scenarios that remain vague or controversial. The content presented as Recommendations is based on our own practice patterns here at UCSF and is offered only as a guide for your consideration.
