Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The eighth edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) melanoma staging system was implemented in the United States on 1 January 2018. Areas covered: This article provides an overview of important changes in the eighth edition AJCC staging system from the seventh edition based on analyses of a large international melanoma database. The clinical implications of these changes for melanoma treatment are also discussed. Expert commentary: A standardized and contemporary cancer staging system that facilitates accurate risk stratification is essential to guide patient treatment. The eighth edition of the AJCC staging system is currently the most widely accepted approach to melanoma staging and classification at initial diagnosis.

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.
