The AJCC - UICC Eye Cancer Task Force

 
 

The American Joint Committee on Cancer and the International Union Against Cancer (AJCC - UICC) have sponsored the development of an International TNM-based nomenclature for eye tumors.


This (our) efforts will allow us to collect and analyze clinical, pathological and biomarker information. The next step is to gain its acceptance so that this nomenclature can be used for clinical care, research and publication.


Our work will serve as a foundation for subsequent initiatives (see above menu):


  1. 1)Instructions for Authors Project 

  2. 2)Internet-based Hi-resolution Ophthalmic Pathology Teaching Slide Set

  3. 3)International System for Eye Cancer Tissue / Genetic Banking

  4. 4)The Universal Eye Cancer Database Project

  5. 5)The Ophthalmic Oncology EMR Overlay  (e.g. E Cancer Care)

  6. 6)EYECancerBIG - Summary

 

“Dreams are real as long as they last, deeds remembered for a lifetime, this work will endure.”

These are legacy projects.  We stand at a crossroads for our subspecialty.


Our efforts today can set the stage for multi-center international cooperation in research, education and clinical care.


These efforts will raise the standards of clinical  care for generations to come.
