AJCC Cancer Staging Manual

The book appears to have been rushed to publication and has so many errors that it's practically useless. (The list of errors is published on the AJCC website, and seems to number in the hundreds.)Unfortunately AJCC currently states that these errors are not significant enough to issue replacement copies. To quote, "The AJCC will not provide replacement copies of the 8th Edition Cancer Staging Manual. None of the errata are significant enough to necessitate a reprint until the current inventory of manuals is depleted" - unless you want to do your job properly!!Also, without apparent warning and following publication, they announced that this edition cannot be used until 2018!!It would have been far more professional for AJCC to review their book properly and only sell it when it's ready to use.

Hooray! Awesome! I'm so excited to finally have an electronic version!!I immediately downloaded the most up-to-date errata (the newest one was 6/29/18) and spot checked for about 15 minutes. This book is correct.Also, I like the table of contents, it is simple enough to be useful, chapter titles only.The Kindle version allows for highlighting and notes. Just highlight a word and a menu pops up. There is a bookmark feature as well.2018 is finally looking up! Thanks, AJCC!Kathy Fors, CTR

This has been on back order since March. It's advertised as the corrected 3rd printing, but it is the original printing, complete with all the errata that makes it useless. Sending it back. Not what was advertised.

This is Advertised as the 3rd edition printing 2018, but it is not the 3rd edition! This is my 2nd time ordering this book and I was asssured by the Amazon rep that this was the correct book and it is NOT!

Like many other cancer registry professionals, I purchased the hard copy version of the AJCC Cancer Staging Manual, eighth edition, when it was first published over one year ago with all its errors. I'm pleased with this Kindle version, but gave it only three "stars" because the product is almost a year late (i.e., we needed it on January 1, 2018). There is a real need for real-time data. Having an up-to-date cancer staging manual for timely data abstraction is crucial in meeting that need.

from medical oncologist in clinical practice.Garbage. Amount of errata is ridiculous.I brought this into a patient's room to try to show them what their stage of breast cancer was and found it could not be determined. Made me look like I did not know what I was doing.Shame. (ding, ding) Shame. (ding, ding) Shame. (ding, ding)

So many errors. Can we get a refund?

Unfortunately I only learned this (mostly due to the fact I could not find any printing information within the book I received) when I started my student clinical and was shown the errata for the manual and the changes that were supposed to be in the book I purchased, weren't.I purchased this book, fulfilled by Amazon (which cost more), after I received the first book (fulfilled by a third party), that was supposed to be new and was stamped with a Dr.'s office stamp inside the front cover.Of course, I do not have recourse almost a year later, but I am very annoyed that I was sold the wrong book (again, which cost me more, fulfilled by Amazon).

Excellent

Pues eso, después de la edición en papel con incontables erratas parece que tuvieron que rehacerlo todo para sacar la edición digital, con un año de retraso con respecto a lo previsto.Libro de cabecera en oncología, nunca debió haberse retrasado tanto.

Excellent book. A must have for all oncologist. There are so many changes in staging that it is going to change the way we are going to practice the oncology. For die hard Oncologist its "Gita". Its guiding force. It need to be kept on desk for ready reference.

Quality product. Essential one. Lot of changes as compared to 7th edition

Exactly as advertised. No surprises. Shipped quickly.
