Is the new distribution of early esophageal adenocarcinoma stages improving the prognostic prediction of the 8th edition of the TNM staging system for esophageal cancer?

Conclusions: We used the SEER database to compare the staging of early esophageal adenocarcinomas between the 8th and 7th editions of the AJCC/UICC TNM staging system. Based on our data, the 8th edition is not superior to the 7th edition. PMID: 30416766 [PubMed]
