NCIt definition : Stage IV includes: IVA: (T4a, N0, M0); (T4a, N1, M0); (T1, N2, M0); (T2, N2, M0);
(T3, N2, M0); (T4a, N2, M0); IVB: (T4b, Any N, M0); (Any T, N3, M0); IVC: (Any T,
Any N, M1). T4: (Supraglottis) T4a: Tumor invades through the thyroid cartilage and/or
invades tissues beyond the larynx (e.g., trachea, soft tissues of neck including deep
extrinsic muscle of the tongue, strap muscles, thyroid, or esophagus). T4b: Tumor
invades prevertebral space, encases carotid artery, or invades mediastinal structures.
(Glottis) T4a: Tumor invades through the thyroid cartilage and/or invades tissues
beyond the larynx (e.g., trachea, soft tissues of neck including deep extrinsic muscles
of the tongue, strap muscles, thyroid, or esophagus). T4b: Tumor invades prevertebral
space, encases carotid artery, or invades mediastinal structures. (Subglottis) T4a:
Tumor invades cricoid or thyroid cartilage and/or invades tissues beyond the larynx
(e.g., trachea, soft tissues of neck including deep extrinsic muscles of the tongue,
strap muscles, thyroid, or esophagus). T4b: Tumor invades prevertebral space, encases
carotid artery, or invades mediastinal structures. N2: Metastasis in a single ipsilateral
lymph node, more than 3 cm but not more than 6 cm in greatest dimension, or in multiple
ipsilateral lymph nodes, none more than 6 cm in greatest dimension, or in bilateral
or contralateral lymph nodes, none more than 6 cm in greatest dimension. N2a: Metastasis
in a single ipsilateral lymph node more than 3 cm but not more than 6 cm in greatest
dimension. N2b: Metastasis in multiple ipsilateral lymph nodes, none more than 6 cm
in greatest dimension. N2c: Metastasis in bilateral or contralateral lymph nodes,
none more than 6 cm in greatest dimension. N3: Metastasis in a lymph node more than
6 cm in greatest dimension. M1: Distant metastasis. (AJCC 6th ed.);
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: Stage IV is divided into stage IVA, stage IVB, and stage IVC. In stage
IVA, (1) cancer has spread through the thyroid cartilage and/or has spread to tissues
beyond the larynx, such as the neck, trachea, thyroid, or esophagus; cancer may have
spread to one lymph node on the same side of the neck as the original tumor and the
lymph node is 3 centimeters or smaller; or (2) cancer has spread to one lymph node
on the same side of the neck as the original tumor and the lymph node is larger than
3 centimeters but not larger than 6 centimeters, or has spread to more than one lymph
node anywhere in the neck with none larger than 6 centimeters; cancer may have spread
to tissues beyond the larynx, such as the neck, trachea, thyroid, or esophagus. The
vocal cords may not move normally. In stage IVB, (1) cancer has spread to the space
in front of the spinal column, surrounds the carotid artery, or has spread to parts
of the chest; cancer may have spread to one or more lymph nodes anywhere in the neck
and the lymph nodes may be any size; or (2) cancer has spread to a lymph node that
is larger than 6 centimeters and may have spread as far as the space in front of the
spinal column, around the carotid artery, or to parts of the chest. The vocal cords
may not move normally. In stage IVC, cancer has spread to other parts of the body,
such as the lungs, liver, or bone.;
