Excerpt

The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) Staging Manual represents the standard for classifying patients with pancreas and hepatobiliary cancers, predicting prognosis, and guiding treatment decisions. For the new 8th edition, the AJCC Hepatobiliary Task Force, a multidisciplinary team of international experts, conducted two face-to-face meetings. At the first meeting, specialists in individual disease sites presented analysis of the literature and reviewed questions and issues from the 7th edition. Recommendations for revisions were proposed and discussed. At the second meeting, additional data to support the proposed revisions were reviewed, and revisions were approved by the full task force, including representatives from the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) and the AJCC Editorial Board. Chapters were submitted to the Editorial Board for editing and final approval. …
