The present study was designed to investigate whether AJCC/UICC 8 edition staging system precisely differentiated patients with different prognosis of gastric cancer (GC).
There were 540 GC cases included in this study. Stratification was done according to the 7 and 8 AJCC/UICC tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) staging systems. Detailed comparison was conducted between two editions in terms of the sub-classification of pN3 stage, redefinitions of stage III, homogeneity, discrimination power, predictive accuracy, and complexity.
Compared to the 7 edition, the 8 TNM staging system performed better by incorporating pN3a and pN3b into the final stage of GC (<0.001), had better stage grouping homogeneity (<0.001), prognostic value (area under the curve, AUC-value was 0.809), and comparable discrimination power.
AJCC 8 TNM staging system showed improved efficiency in GC prognosis.
本研究旨在调查美国癌症联合委员会/国际抗癌联盟(AJCC/UICC)第8版分期系统是否能准确区分不同预后的胃癌(GC)患者。
本研究纳入了540例GC病例。根据AJCC/UICC第7版和第8版肿瘤-淋巴结-转移(TNM)分期系统进行分层。对两版在pN3期的亚分类、III期的重新定义、同质性、区分能力、预测准确性和复杂性方面进行了详细比较。
与第7版相比,第8版TNM分期系统通过将pN3a和pN3b纳入GC的最终分期表现更好(<0.001),具有更好的分期分组同质性(<0.001)、预后价值(曲线下面积,AUC值为0.809)和相当的区分能力。
AJCC第8版TNM分期系统在GC预后方面显示出更高的效率。
