NCIt definition : Distant metastatic disease (i.e., not contiguous with the primary tumor) except as
defined for stage MS. Nonregional (distant) lymph node involvement is metastatic disease.
However, an upper abdominal tumor with enlarged lower mediastinal nodes or a pelvic
tumor with inguinal lymph node involvement is considered locoregional disease. Ascites
and/or a pleural effusion, even with malignant cells, do not constitute metastatic
disease unless they are remote from the body compartment of the primary tumor. (Childhood
