In 2018, the American Joint Commission on Cancer (AJCC) published the 8th edition of the AJCC CancerStaging Manual. Immediately after publication, we quickly got to work on the 2nd edition of DiagnosticImaging: Oncology, the single most up-to-date and comprehensive textbook on radiologic tumor staging.The 8th edition brings a multitude of changes that directly affect radiologic image evaluation and tumorstaging. Almost every organ system has seen widespread modifications, and most staging schemesbased on the 7th edition are now outdated and incorrect. This edition features 7 entirely new stagingsystems and a wide range of changed or new staging definitions. Changes include splitting of somechapters and merging of others. A “Summary of Changes” table has been added to chapters detailingwhat changed between the 7th and 8th editions.Each lavishly illustrated chapter offers multiple ways to quickly review a particular cancer. Bulleted textdistills pertinent information to the essentials. Reference tables provide quick access to definitions forTNM and AJCC prognostic groups with detailed graphics for a visual reference. Over 105 updated andnew illustrations for new staging classifications have been added. High-quality images demonstrate theradiologic appearance of practically every stage of every tumor. Over 2,000 updated images were added,and all of these vivid images are fully captioned and annotated to maximize their illustrative potential.Whether you are looking for routes of spread, imaging techniques for local staging, or treatmentoptions, you will find it quickly in this easy-to-use yet comprehensive reference. It is a “must-have” for anyradiologist involved in tumor imaging.
