Modified AJCC staging of gastric neuroendocrine carcinoma based on T staging can improve the capacity of prognosis assessment.
This study was designed to determine the value of AJCC staging 7th edition and improved AJCC staging in assessing the prognosis of gastric neuroendocrine carcinoma (GNEC). ⋯ T stage was an independent factor influencing the prognosis of stage IIIb GNEC patients, and the improved AJCC staging proposed here has good prognostic value.
