New eBook: The AJCC Cancer Staging System, 9th Edition

The new 9th version of the AJCC Cancer Staging System (formerly known as the AJCC Cancer Staging Manual) is now electronically available in the library. The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) made an important change to how it updates and releases Cancer Staging content. The AJCC shifted from a Cancer Staging Manual to a Cancer Staging System and moved away from Editions to Versions.

The new AJCC Protocol Version 9 content is presented in a streamlined, easy-to-use format including synoptic staging report format, tables, explanatory notes, and illustrations. All disease sites in the 8th Edition Cancer Staging Manual remain current until replaced with Version 9.
