Paradigm shifts in staging of thyroid cancer

Kim et al. from Korea [1] have done a remarkable job on retrospective review of their large number of patients with thyroid carcinoma first staging them according to the 7th edition of the AJCC/UICC staging system of thyroid cancer and re-staging them according to the most recent, 8th edition and changes implemented in the 8th edition. They have also done a comparative analysis of cause specific survival (CSS) and implications of the new and revised staging system [2]. The revised staging system was published in January of 2017, however, officially it will be implemented in January 2018 at which time the staging system of thyroid cancer will change worldwide.
