From the AJCC Cancer Staging Handbook, Sixth Edition, prepared by the American Joint Committee on Cancer, AJCC TNM contains the complete text of the Handbook inside your PDA.

Used by physicians and health care professionals worldwide to facilitate the uniform description of neoplastic diseases, the fully revised and updated Sixth Edition of the AJCC Cancer Staging Handbook brings together all currently available information on staging of cancer at various anatomic sites and incorporates newly acquired knowledge on the etiology and pathology of cancer. The Sixth Edition includes major revisions to the chapters on breast and melanoma as well as important changes in sites such as thyroid, liver, colon, kidney and more.

Now, the full TNM classification is at your fingertips—along with a unique Staging Calculator which allows you to enter T,N,M variables and determine the stage instantly. An index of the latest ICD codes facilitates quick searching and a comprehensive index of the Survival Curves featured in the Sixth Edition will give you instant access to the latest data. As proper classification and staging allow the physician to determine treatment more appropriately, evaluate results of management more reliably, and compare worldwide statistics reported from various institutions on a local, regional, and national basis more confidently, cancer physicians can't afford to be without the full AJCC Cancer Staging Handbook inside their PDAs. (Note: all of the TNM staging information included in the Sixth Edition is uniform between the AJCC and the UICC - International Union Against Cancer).
