Article Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate whether the European Neuroendocrine Tumor Society (ENETS) system or the 8th American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging manual are suitable for gastric neuroendocrine carcinomas and/or mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinomas (G-NECs/MANECs).
Methods: Patients in a multicentric series with G-NEC/MANEC who underwent curative-intent surgical resection for a primary tumor were included. An optimal staging system was proposed base on analysis of the T and N status and validated by the SEER database.
Results: Compared with the ENETS system, the survival curves of the T category and N category in the 8th AJCC system were better separated and distributed in a more balanced way, but the survival curves of T2 vs. T3, N0 vs. N1, and N3a vs. N3b overlapped. For the T category, the 8th AJCC T category was modified by combining T2 and T3, which was consistent with the T category in the 6th AJCC manual for GC. For the N category, the optimal cut-off values of metastatic lymph nodes using X-tile were also similar to those of the N category in the 6th AJCC system. The Kaplan-Meier plots of the 6th AJCC system showed statistically significant differences between individual substages. Compared with the other 2 classifications, the 6th AJCC system also showed superior prognostic stratification. Similar results were obtained in both multicentric and SEER validation sets.
Conclusions: Compared to the 8th AJCC and ENETS systems, the 6th AJCC staging system for GC is more suitable for G-NEC/MANEC and can be adopted in clinical practice.

Developed by Pierre F. Denoix in the mid-20th century as a clinical classification of anatomic tumour extent, the tumour, node, and metastasis (TNM) classification was adopted by the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) and the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC). The first lung cancer classification was published as a brochure in 1966 by the UICC, and 2 years later, the UICC published the first edition of the , which was followed 9 years later by the first edition of the .

Background: Approximately 40,000 individuals die from metastatic breast cancer each year. We examined what fractions of annual breast cancer-specific death (BCSD) are due to stage I, II, III, IV disease and if these proportions changed over time.
Methods: We used data from SEER covering 1975 to 2017.

Background: The objective of this study was to examine the independent prognostic factors of laryngeal cancer with synchronous or metachronous lung cancer (LCSMLC), and to generate and verify a clinical prediction model.
Methods: In this study, laryngeal cancer alone and LCSMLC were defined using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Risk factors of patients with LCSMLC were analyzed through univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis.

Objectives: The advanced gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC) patients (stage III/IV) with surgery may have inconsistent prognoses due to different demographic and clinicopathological factors. In this retrospective study, we developed clinical prediction models for estimating the overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) in advanced GAC patients with surgery.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database.

Background/aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of recent radiotherapy on mortality from heart disease in Asians or Pacific islanders with breast cancer using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database.
Patients And Methods: Asians or Pacific islanders with stage 0 or I (AJCC 6th) breast cancer between 2000 and 2015 were analyzed. The impact of radiotherapy for mortality from heart disease after treatment was evaluated by comparing patients who received radiotherapy for left-sided breast cancer, patients who received radiotherapy for right-sided breast cancer and patients who did not receive radiotherapy.
