Accurate staging for cancer is the basis for clinical practice, individualized treatment strategy, and prognosis determination.Recently, the T and N staging systems for pancreatic adenocarcinoma were updated by both American Joint Commission on Cancer(AJCC)8 edition and Japanese Pancreas Society 7 edition, in which more objective parameters were applied.When a large number of patients within the test set were staged, AJCC 8 edition has showed more reproducible and helped to predict the patient prognosis more accurately.
准确的癌症分期是临床实践、个体化治疗策略和预后判定的基础。最近，美国癌症联合委员会（AJCC）第8版和日本胰腺学会第7版都对胰腺腺癌的T和N分期系统进行了更新，其中应用了更多客观参数。当对测试集中的大量患者进行分期时，AJCC第8版显示出更高的可重复性，并且有助于更准确地预测患者预后。
