Preferred Label : Stage IIIA;
NCIt definition : Locally advanced cancer that has spread to nearby organs but not to distant anatomic
sites. The definition of stage IIIA depends on the particular type of cancer that
it refers to; for example, for breast cancer, stage IIIA is defined as follows: (T0,
N2, M0); (T1, N2, M0); (T2, N2, M0); (T3, N1, M0); (T3, N2, M0). T0: No evidence of
primary tumor. T1: Tumor 20 mm or less in greatest dimension. T1 includes T1mi. T1mi:
Tumor 1 mm or less in greatest dimension. 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). N2: Metastases
in ipsilateral level I, II axillary lymph nodes that are clinically fixed or matted;
or in clinically detected ipsilateral internal mammary nodes in the absence of clinically
evident axillary lymph node metastases. M0: No clinical or radiographic evidence of
distant metastasis. M0 includes M0(i ); for cervical cancer, stage IIIA is defined
as follows: T3a, N0, M0. T3a: Tumor involves lower third of vagina, no extension to
pelvic wall. N0: No regional lymph node metastasis. M0: No distant metastasis. (partially
