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

TL;DR: Overall, PIK3R1 down-regulation in RCC promotes propagation, migration, EMT and stem-like phenotype in renal cancer cells through the AKT/GSK3β/CTNNB1 pathway, and may contribute to progression and metastasis of RCC.

Curative-intent surgery for hilar cholangiocarcinoma: prognostic factors for clinical decision making
Irinel Popescu,Traian Dumitrascu +1 more
TL;DR: An aggressive surgical approach has improved the survival rates in patients with HC and implies bile duct resection associated with liver resection and loco-regional lymph node dissection, which remains the main tool to assess the prognosis after resection of HC.
