Physician Education

acs-cancer-society-logo.png

The AJCC provides resources beneficial to physicians in their use and understanding of the AJCC TNM staging system.

Developed through generous support from the American Cancer Society.

Stage: The Language of Cancer

The AJCC developed a presentation titled Stage: The Language of Cancer as a high-level overview of the history and the guiding principles behind the AJCC Cancer Staging System. The presentation is intended to be used as both an introduction to T, N, M Staging and an update on some of the new changes in the rules for those who have previously used the AJCC Staging Manuals. We encourage both learners and instructors to use this officially developed presentation as a resource for training and educational needs.
