Introduction: The eighth edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) melanoma staging system was implemented in the United States on 1 January 2018. Areas covered: This article provides an overview of important changes in the eighth edition AJCC staging system from the seventh edition based on analyses of a large international melanoma database. The clinical implications of these changes for melanoma treatment are also discussed. Expert commentary: A standardized and contemporary cancer staging system that facilitates accurate risk stratification is essential to guide patient treatment. The eighth edition of the AJCC staging system is currently the most widely accepted approach to melanoma staging and classification at initial diagnosis.
