Excerpt

Through the consensus of task forces designated according to disease anatomic site, the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) Staging Manual has codified cancer staging since 1977; the Head and Neck Section is composed of 28 head and neck cancer experts.1 Staging systems aim to create guidelines that group patients with similar survival into subgroups (hazard consistency) that are distinct from other subgroups in terms of survival (hazard discrimination) but not cohort size (balance between groups) and that provide prognostic survival information on an individual patient level (high predictive ability).2 …
