Preferred Label : Stage IIIB Pleural Malignant Mesothelioma AJCC v8;
NCIt related terms : Stage IIIB Pleural Malignant Mesothelioma;
NCIt definition : Stage IIIB includes: (T1-3, N2, M0); (T4, Any N, M0). T1: Tumor limited to the ipsilateral
parietal with or without involvement of visceral pleura, mediastinal pleura, and diaphragmatic
pleura. T2: Tumor involving each of the ipsilateral pleural surfaces (parietal, mediastinal,
diaphragmatic, and visceral pleura) with at least one of the following features: involvement
of diaphragmatic muscle and/or extension of tumor from visceral pleura into the underlying
pulmonary parenchyma. T3: Tumor is locally advanced but potentially resectable. The
tumor involves all the ipsilateral pleural surfaces (parietal, mediastinal, diaphragmatic,
and visceral pleura) with at least one of the following features: involvement of the
endothoracic fascia, extension into the mediastinal fat, solitary, completely resectable
focus of tumor extending into the soft tissues of the chest wall, and/or nontransmural
involvement of the pericardium. T4: Tumor is locally advanced and technically unresectable.
The tumor involves all the ipsilateral pleural surfaces (parietal, mediastinal, diaphragmatic,
and visceral pleura) with at least one of the following features: diffuse extension
or multifocal masses of tumor in the chest wall, with or without associated rib destruction,
direct transdiaphragmatic extension of tumor to the peritoneum, direct extension of
tumor to the contralateral pleura, direct extension of tumor to mediastinal organs,
direct extension of tumor into the spine, and/or tumor extending through to the internal
surface of the pericardium with or without a pericardial effusion; or tumor involving
the myocardium. N2: Metastases in the contralateral mediastinal, ipsilateral, or contralateral
supraclavicular lymph nodes. M0: No distant metastasis. (AJCC 8th ed.);
