ABSTRACT
Stage of cancer at the time of the diagnosis is a key factor for the prognosis and the determination of appropriate treatment. Several cancer staging systems are used worldwide. The most useful staging system is the tumor, node and metastasis (TNM) staging system develop by the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) in collaboration with the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) referred to as the AJCC TNM staging system. The AJCC TNM system classifies cancers by the size and extend of the primary tumor (T), involvement of regional lymph nodes (N) and the presence of distant metastases (M). AJCC and UICC periodically modify the AJCC TNM staging system according to newly acquired clinical, pathological and biological data improving understanding of cancer physiopathology. The 8th edition of AJCC TNM system is effective for cancer patients diagnosed on or after January 1, 2018. Here, we report the issues of the staging cancers of the oral cavity according to the 8th edition of AJCC TNM system. We focus on 2 new concepts defined in the 8th edition of AJCC TNM system depth of invasion (DOI) and extranodal extension (ENE).
