Preferred Label : Stage IIIB;
NCIt definition : Locally advanced cancer that has spread to nearby organs but not to distant anatomic
sites. The definition of stage IIIB depends on the particular type of cancer that
it refers to; for example, for breast cancer, stage IIIB is defined as follows: (T4,
N0, M0); (T4, N1, M0); (T4, N2, M0). T4: Tumor of any size with direct extension to
the chest wall and/or to the skin (ulceration or skin nodules). N0: No regional lymph
node metastasis. 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 IIIB
is defined as follows: (T3b, Any N, M0); (T1-3, N1, M0). T3: Tumor extends to pelvic
wall and/or involves lower third of vagina, and/or causes hydronephrosis or non-functioning
kidney. T3b: Tumor extends to pelvic wall and/or causes hydronephrosis or non-functioning
kidney. N1: Regional lymph node metastasis. M0: No distant metastasis. (partially
