Richard Sassun: It is time to give Tumor Deposit a proper role in the staging

Richard SassunColorectal Surgery Fellow at Mayo Clinic Rochester, reshared a post by JAMA Surgery on X:

AJCC will soon release the 9th edition TNM staging system for colon cancer.

It is time to give Tumor Deposit a proper role in the staging, as 17.1% of patients were understaged in this recent article. Different stages means different treatment!!”

Quoting JAMA Surgery‘s post:

Sassun-Mayo N/tumor, lymph node, and metastasis staging provided superior overall survival stratification vs the current AJCC staging, suggesting that their implementation could improve prognostication in colon cancer.”
