The 8th edition of AJCC/TNM staging system for differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) has recently been published. The aim of this study was to compare AJCC/TNM staging 7th and 8th edition in terms of tumor stage distribution in a multicenter, consecutive and prospective cohort of newly diagnosed DTC collected in a web-based observational database. Additional information concerning the extent of minimal extrathyroidal extension was collected. A cohort of 1765 DTC patients (76% females, median age 48 years, 94% papillary histotype) was analyzed. Younger patients (

Purpose of Review: Imaging is fundamental in the management of colorectal cancer (CRC). Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance (CEMR) are the imaging modalities recommended to stage and restage CRC. The aim of this review is to summarize the most relevant studies published on the role of contrast-enhanced imaging for the management of CRC. Recent Findings: There are published data demonstrating the accuracy of CECT and CEMR for local staging of both colon and rectal cancer, as well as for the evaluation of distant metastases.
