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:Â
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

Improved Metastasis-Free and Survival Outcomes With Early Salvage Radiotherapy in Men With Detectable Prostate-Specific Antigen After Prostatectomy for Prostate Cancer

TL;DR: Outcomes of salvage radiotherapy for men with detectable prostate-specific antigen (PSA) after radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer may be positively affected by using SRT at lower PSA levels, including reductions in BcR, DM, CSM, and all-cause mortality.

TL;DR: Genomic comparisons of multiple lesions associated with HCCs will provide important information on the genetic changes associated with tumor progression, and sequence analysis of a single lesion cannot completely characterize the genomic features of HCC in some patients.

Hepatocellular carcinoma: A comprehensive review.
TL;DR: The Milan criteria is acknowledged as the model to classify the individuals that meet requirements to undergo transplantation and expansion of these criteria to create options for patients with HCC to increase overall survival is proposed.

TL;DR: Elevated preoperative NLR among patients undergoing RC is associated with significantly increased risk for locally advanced disease as well as subsequent disease recurrence, and cancer-specific and all-cause mortality, and data suggest that serum NLR may be a useful prognostic marker for preoperative patient risk stratification.
