## BACKGROUND. The 1997 American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system condensed unilobular tumors into one entity and continues the use of both imaging and biopsy to alter classification status in T2 and T3 carcinomas. This study analyzes the biochemical freedom from disease recurrence

BACKGROUND.
This study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of the 1997 American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system to predict survival and local control of patients with maxillary sinus carcinoma and to identify significant factors for overall survival, local control, and distant metastases in patients with these tumors.
METHODS.
Ninety-seven patients with maxillary sinus carcinoma were treated with

## BACKGROUND. A new system for the classification of gastric carcinoma, based on the number of metastatic lymph nodes, has been adopted by the current American Joint Committee on Cancer/International Union Against Cancer (AJCC/UICC) TNM system (1997). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the
A high proportion of U.S. patients with gastric carcinoma do not receive surgical treatment. To sharpen staging criteria and facilitate comparisons with surgical series, an analysis of patients whose treatment included gastrectomy was undertaken. In addition, to evaluate the "different disease" hypo
