AJCC Announces Version 9 Protocols and New Subscription Service

December 12, 2023

In the ongoing pursuit of accurate cancer diagnosis and treatment, the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) has announced two developments: the release of the latest Version 9 AJCC Cancer Staging Protocols and the upcoming launch of AJCC Staging Online. These initiatives will collectively redefine how healthcare professionals access and use the AJCC Cancer Staging System.

Version 9 of the AJCC Cancer Staging Protocols represents a significant advancement in the field, offering critical updates and refinements to enhance the precision of cancer diagnosis and treatment planning. These protocols are now available for purchase on Amazon.com.

AJCC Staging Online, the new comprehensive subscription service scheduled to launch in the first quarter of 2024, will provide oncologists and cancer registrars unparalleled access to the most current Version 9 Cancer Staging Protocols and 8th Edition Cancer Staging Manual content.
