"In the 2017 new edition (8^th edition) AJCC published various major changes including exocrine and endocrine tumours of the pancreas are now staged using different staging systems. The following is for the staging of pancreatic adenocarcinoma. In the 8^th edition of AJCC, T staging has become more size-based rather than descriptive-based, resectability has been omitted from T4 category, and the number and not just the presence of the regional lymph nodes defines the N stage of disease ^1,3."
