Multicenter, International Assessment of the Eighth Edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer <i>Cancer Staging Manual</i> for Conjunctival Melanoma

Abstract

This multicenter, international, collaborative study yielded evidence that the conjunctival melanoma staging system in the eighth edition of the AJCC Cancer Staging Manual can be used to accurately estimate metastasis and mortality rates. These findings appear to support the use of AJCC staging as a tool for patient care and research.
