At present, three major manuals for gastric cancer study are in use, the General rules of the Japanese Research Society (JRS), the TNM classification of the UICC, and the TNM classification of the American Joint Committee (AJC). Differences between these systems have produced considerable confusion and rendered comparison between different reports very difficult. In order to produce an internationally unified system of staging, a meeting was held in December 1984 in Hawaii between experts in gastric cancer representing the UICC, the AJC, and the JRS. A new TNM classification and staging was proposed at the meeting and was approved by the UICC, the AJC, and the JRS in 1985. In this paper, the background and evolution of the new classification are described, and end results of surgical treatment staged by this system are presented.
目前，有三本主要的胃癌研究手册在使用，即日本胃癌研究会（JRS）的《一般规则》、国际抗癌联盟（UICC）的TNM分类以及美国联合委员会（AJC）的TNM分类。这些系统之间的差异造成了相当大的混乱，使得不同报告之间的比较非常困难。为了制定一个国际统一的分期系统，1984年12月在夏威夷召开了一次会议，来自UICC、AJC和JRS的胃癌专家参加了会议。会上提出了一种新的TNM分类和分期方法，并于1985年得到了UICC、AJC和JRS的批准。本文描述了新分类的背景和演变，并展示了用该系统分期的手术治疗最终结果。
