The AJCC Cancer Staging Manual, Eighth Edition Staging Form Supplement includes 104 printable staging forms for each distinct
staging system published by the American College of Surgeons (ACS).
These printable forms may be used by physicians to record data on T, N, and M categories; prognostic stage groups; additional
prognostic factors; histologic grade; and other important information. These forms may be useful for recording information in
the medical record and for communicating information from physicians to the cancer registrar.
The staging forms may be used to document cancer stage at different points in the patient’s care and during the course of
therapy, including the time before therapy begins, after surgery and completion of all staging evaluations, or at the time of
recurrence. It is best to use a separate form for each time point staged along the continuum for an individual cancer patient.
However, if all time points are recorded on a single form, the staging basis for each element should be identified clearly.
See Principles of Cancer Staging1 (Chapter 1) of the AJCC Cancer Staging Manual, Eighth Edition2 for complete staging rules.
Always refer to the respective chapter in the Manual for disease-specific rules for classification, as this form is not
representative of all rules, exceptions and instructions for this disease.
