NCIt definition : Stage IV includes: IVA: (T4, N0, M0); (T4, N1, M0); (T4, N2, M0); IVB (Any T, N3,
M0); IVC (Any T, Any N, M1). T4: Tumor with intracranial extension and/or involvement
of cranial nerves, infratemporal fossa, hypopharynx, orbit, or masticator space. N3:
Metastasis in a lymph node(s). N3a: greater than 6 cm in dimension. N3b: extension
to the supraclavicular fossa. M1: Distant metastasis. (AJCC 6th ed.);
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: Stage IV nasopharyngeal cancer is divided into stages IVA, IVB, and IVC.
In stage IVA, cancer has spread beyond the nasopharynx and may have spread to the
cranial nerves, the hypopharynx (bottom part of the throat), areas in and around the
side of the skull or jawbone, and/or the bone around the eye. Cancer may have spread
to one or more lymph nodes on one or both sides of the neck and/or to lymph nodes
behind the pharynx, and the affected lymph nodes are 6 centimeters or smaller. In
stage IVB, cancer has spread to lymph nodes between the collarbone and the top of
the shoulder and/or the affected lymph nodes are larger than 6 centimeters. In stage
IVC, cancer has spread beyond nearby lymph nodes to other parts of the body.;
