Anyone have an easy way to remember the new breast group staging? I feel like, as annoying as this is, it is totally testable knowledge on the oral boards, considering that this will be the ONLY staging for that section of the oral boards.

There has to be a way to simplify the tables in the new AJCC staging, some shortcuts to remember the different ones?

my plan is to get T N and M staging correct and properly/safely manage the case. too new and too much to get all overall staging correct for all diseases. not worth killing yourself over. it is 2018, I stage all cases with the help of a staging tool built into my org's EPIC for safety and to make sure we get it right every time. If it's wrong to say that, I'll be happy to quit the field.

Im terrible at memorizing this sort of stuff. I think all hope is lost for me. They keep adding to things that one can easily look up in practice.

Only RainMan tries to memorize this sort of stuff. The rest of us look it up.
