AJCC Staging System Articles

To build nomogram incorporating potential prognostic factors for predicting survival outcomes of testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT) patients after resection of the primary tumor.

Data of TGCT patients from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (2010-2016) who underwent resection of the primary tumor were collected.

Aim: To evaluate the impact of socioeconomic factors (SEFs) on survival of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients. Materials & methods: RCC patients diagnosed between 2007 and 2015 were collected from the SEER database.

The essential treatment for patients with renal cell carcinoma is nephrectomy. As no lymph node dissection (LND) could be performed in the majority of these patients, healthy staging could not be carried out.

To compare the predictive value of the current AJCC stage grouping for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) to our modifications.

A total of 2120 patients with RCC from Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center (FUSCC) database and 74 506 counterparts from SEER database were included.
