Revised American Joint Committee on Cancer staging criteria accurately predict sentinel lymph node positivity in clinically node-negative melanoma patientsDennis L Rousseau
Department of Surgical Oncology, The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, Houston 77030, USA
Ann Surg Oncol 10:569-74. 2003..Given the significant association of SLN status and survival, the ability of the revised AJCC staging system to predict survival is likely due to its ability to predict the risk of occult nodal disease...
Overview of anal cancer for the surgeonDennis L Rousseau
