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.

Novel digital signatures of tissue phenotypes for predicting distant metastasis in colorectal cancer

Korsuk Sirinukunwattana, +9 more
- 12 Sep 2018 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that automated analysis of digitized images from locally advanced colorectal cancer tissue slides can provide estimate of risk of distant metastasis on the basis of novel tissue phenotypic signatures of the tumor microenvironment.

Mean platelet volume provides beneficial diagnostic and prognostic information for patients with resectable gastric cancer

Xiao-Ming Shen, +10 more
- 01 Oct 2016 - 
TL;DR: The results showed that the pre-operatic MPV level was significantly higher in gastric cancer patients compared with the healthy subjects and correlated with improved clinicopathological features, including decreased depth of invasion, less lymphonodus metastasis and early tumor stage.
