The Will Rogers phenomenon in the staging of breast cancer—does it matter?
Abstract
Introduction Changes in the American Joint Commission on Cancer staging for breast cancer occurred when the 5th Edition was updated to the 6th Edition.Objective To investigate how these changes affected stage and survival.Methods 3127 cases of breast cancer were restaged.Results Late stages increased from 27.7% to 38.1%. The five-year survival improved in Stage 2 (82.9-86.1%) and Stage 3 (50.6-59%).Discussion Stage shift leads to an erroneous impression that women are presenting with later stages and stage-specific survival is improving.Conclusion Standardizing cancer staging is important when reporting stage and survival in different time periods.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
