The authors report the establishment of a new Committee of the American Joint Committee on Cancer that has two objectives as follows: (1) to review the methods available to estimate outcome and (2) to study certain tumors to determine whether an expanded list of prognostic factors can be formulated into new prognostic systems that will have scientific value and clinical utility for treatment selection and staging.
作者报告了美国癌症联合委员会一个新委员会的成立，该委员会有以下两个目标：（1）审查现有的估计预后的方法；（2）研究某些肿瘤，以确定是否可以将更多的预后因素纳入新的预后系统，这些系统将对治疗选择和分期具有科学价值和临床实用性。
