AJCC Cancer Staging Manual

Best review:

Highly detailed description of the staging of the neoplasms and especially in the matter of surgical vs non-surgical margins for the determination of the R category for residual tumor. Includes the new TNM system for neuroendocrine tumors (lung, intestine, pancreas etc), modified information about Tumor Deposits in colorectal cancer (changes the “smooth contour” consensus) and new definitions in Melanoma report (ulceration, micro-satellite deposits etc). A truly great effort to make Pathology a true Consensus among Pathologists and less a matter of personal opinions.

An absolutely essential book for surgical pathologists. Clear explanation with summary of the difference between this one and the previous edition.

Indispensible reference for anyone who needs to accurately stage cancer patients. Two nice features are: 1) a box early in each chapter tells how this edition of staging differs from the prior, and 2) the included CD allows you to print the TNM staging for each disease site.
