Staging systems: Is there a surgical staging and a medical one? A surgeon’s perspective

Authors: Carlo M. Contreras, Jean-Nicolas Vauthey

Published in: Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences | Issue 4/2010

Abstract

From a surgeon’s perspective, the AJCC 6th edition is the staging system of choice due to its simplified clinicopathologic schema, discriminatory accuracy, extensive external validation, widespread geographic reproducibility, and applicability to both the resection and transplantation patient population with hepatocellular carcinoma.
