NCIt definition : Stage IIIC includes: For squamous cell carcinoma: (T4a, N1-2, M0, Any G, Tumor location:
Any); (T4b, Any N, M0, Any G, Tumor location: Any); (Any T, N3, M0, Any G, Tumor location:
Any). T4a: Resectable tumor invading pleura, pericardium, or diaphragm. T4b: Unresectable
tumor invading other adjacent structures, such as aorta, vertebral body, trachea,
etc. N1: Metastasis in 1-2 regional lymph nodes. N2: Metastasis in 3-6 regional lymph
nodes. N3: Metastasis in seven or more regional lymph nodes. M0: No distant metastasis.
Tumor location: Location of the primary cancer site is defined by the position of
the upper (proximal) edge of the tumor in the esophagus. For adenocarcinoma: (T4a,
N1-2, M0, Any G); (T4b, Any N, M0, Any G); (Any T, N3, M0, Any G). T4a: Resectable
tumor invading pleura, pericardium, or diaphragm. T4b: Unresectable tumor invading
other adjacent structures, such as aorta, vertebral body, trachea, etc. N1: Metastasis
