AJCC Cancer Staging Handbook
By Stephen Edge
2009 (7th ed), 300 pages, 130 illus, $45 list
The AJCC Cancer Staging System is the preeminent paradigm used by
physicians throughout the world to diagnose cancer and determine the extent to
which cancer has progressed. The Seventh Edition of the AJCC Cancer
Staging Handbook brings the practice of cancer diagnosis and treatment to the
forefront of newly acquired knowledge on the etiology and pathology of cancer.
As we learn more and more about cancer, methods of staging cancer must adapt to
accomodate the new information. This new edition has completely revised and
updated the old classification system to provide a new, evidence-based guide to
cancer staging. The Handbook features all the staging information offered in
the Manual, in a pocket-size book, transportable for easy reference.

between the presence of specific infective agents and certain types of human
cancer represents a key step in the development of novel therapeutic and
preventive strategies.

neoplasia in many organs and systems – including the respiratory and digestive
systems, pancreas, bile duct, breast, prostate, urinary system, female genital
system and the skin. The book features a large number of original figures – 450
– from Chinese patients with detailed descriptions. The book can serve as a
diagnostic reference and as a research guide to preinvasive lesions for
pathologists, oncologists and scientists. In addition, it will be able to help
medical and pathology students improve their understanding of early neoplasia.
