Alluvial flow diagram representing the restaging of patient cohorts from the seventh to the eighth edition of the American Joint Commission on Cancer/Union for International Cancer Control (AJCC/UICC) tumor, node, metastasis (TNM) staging system in (A) the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program and (B) the National Cancer Database (NCDB). Numbers represent the absolute number of patients within each stage, with flow line width proportional to the number of patients moving to a new stage classification. For the percentage of patients moving to each new stage, see Table 3.
