TLDR
A marked increase in the use of international datasets for more highly evidenced-based changes in staging, and the enhanced use of nonanatomic prognostic factors in defining the stage grouping are notable.Abstract:
The American Joint Committee on Cancer and the International Union for Cancer Control update the tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) cancer staging system periodically. The most recent revision is the 7th edition, effective for cancers diagnosed on or after January 1, 2010. This editorial summarizes the background of the current revision and outlines the major issues revised. Most notable are the marked increase in the use of international datasets for more highly evidenced-based changes in staging, and the enhanced use of nonanatomic prognostic factors in defining the stage grouping. The future of cancer staging lies in the use of enhanced registry data standards to support personalization of cancer care through cancer outcome prediction models and nomograms.read more

Hepatectomy vs radiofrequency ablation for colorectal liver metastasis: A propensity score analysis
Huisong Lee,Jin Seok Heo,Yong Beom Cho,Seong Hyeon Yun,Hee Cheol Kim,Woo Yong Lee,Seong Ho Choi,Dong Wook Choi +7 more
TL;DR: Hepatectomy is better than RFA for the treatment of colorectal liver metastasis, however, RFA might be suitable for selected patients with single, small (≤ 2 cm) CRLM.

TL;DR: Tumor position proved the most stable during the respiratory cycle in the end-exhale phase and a better understanding of tumor motion makes it possible to individualize radiation delivery strategies accordingly.

Thoracic staging with 18 F-FDG PET/MR in non-small cell lung cancer – does it change therapeutic decisions in comparison to 18 F-FDG PET/CT?

TL;DR: Despite the variability of thoracic 18F-FDG PET/CT and PET/MR in TNM-staging, both modalities lead to comparable therapeutic decisions in patients suffering from NSCLC.
