Abstract

Treatment decisions and prognostic expectations for bladder cancer rely on accurate pathologic staging. Pathologic staging of bladder cancers is performed on tissue obtained after radical cystectomy and utilizes the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system. The eighth edition of the AJCC staging manual has been published and implemented in January 2018 to update staging criteria for bladder cancer, with several critical changes and clarifications. This chapter will discuss the AJCC eighth edition with emphasis on the selected changes and/or clarifications. Diagnostic pitfalls and controversial issues in staging and substaging of bladder cancer will be also discussed.
