The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) was established in 1959 to formulate and publish systems of classification of cancer, including staging and end-results reporting, that will be acceptable to and used by the medical profession for selecting the most effective treatment, determining prognosis, and continuing evaluation of cancer control measures. The AJCC is composed of 18 member organizations, and its activities are administered by the Chicago-based American College of Surgeons.
“This is the most recent update of a manual for the staging of adult cancers from the American Joint Committee on Cancer. … This is a valuable reference for students, physicians, scientists, and cancer registrars. With clear descriptions and definitions of terminology, it can be used by experienced practitioners as well as those new to cancer staging. … Overall, this edition is a welcome update, incorporating new advances in cancer knowledge to more accurately reflect modern cancer care.” (Emily L. Albright, Doody's Book Reviews, February, 2017)
