William F. Symmans, MD, professor of Pathology, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, discusses the staging system for patients with breast cancer.

With the anticipated 8th addition of the staging system, a current question is what is to be expected in the staging setting? A lot of attention has been placed in the post-neoadjuvant staging, discusses Symmans.

We can anticipate greater clarity for the practicing pathologists and more solid guidelines for defining how to measure tumor burden in the challenging area of breast pathology going forward, explains Symmans.
