Key Points Question Do changes to the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) cancer staging system for melanoma improve concordance and reproducibility for invasive melanomas? Findings In this diagnostic study, melanoma staging in the AJCC Cancer Staging Manual, 8th edition, showed greater reproducibility and higher concordance with a reference standard than melanoma staging in the AJCC Cancer Staging Manual, 7th edition. Meaning Improved classification of invasive melanoma can be expected after implementation of the AJCC Cancer Staging Manual, 8th edition, suggesting a positive impact on patients.
