NCIt definition : Invasive cancer more extensive than stage I, usually involving local lymph nodes without
spread to distant anatomic sites. The definition of stage IIB depends on the particular

as follows: (T2, N1, MO); (T3, NO, MO). T2: Tumor more than 20 mm but not more than
50 mm in greatest dimension. T3: Tumor more than 50 mm in greatest dimension. N1:
Metastasis to movable ipsilateral level I, II axillary lymph node(s). N0: No regional
lymph node metastasis. M0: No clinical or radiographic evidence of distant metastasis.
M0 includes M0(i ); for bone cancer, stage IIB is defined as follows: T2, N0, M0,
G3, G4. T2: Tumor more than 8 cm in greatest dimension. N0: No regional lymph node
metastasis. M0: No distant metastasis. G3: Poorly differentiated. G4: Undifferentiated.
