In May 2002, the 6th edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer staging manual was published. This new staging system was officially adopted for use in tumor registries in January 2003. The changes adopted for the chapter concerning breast carcinoma were the result of recommendations made by a task force charged with proposing changes that reflected published clinical data and current clinical consensus.
