Is the 8th Edition of the AJCC TNM Staging System Sufficiently Reasonable for All Patients with Noncardia Gastric Cancer? A 12,549-Patient International Database Study

ConclusionsThe 8th edition of the AJCC TNM classification shows better prognostic ability than the 7th edition in noncardia GC patients with  >  15 eLNs, but no improvement was found in patients with ≤ 15 eLNs; therefore, a novel prognostic model is proposed.
