NCIt definition : Stage IIIA includes: (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 ). (AJCC 7th Ed.);
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: Stage III breast cancer is divided into stages IIIA, IIIB, and IIIC. In
stage IIIA, (1) no tumor is found in the breast, but cancer is found in axillary (under
the arm) lymph nodes that are attached to each other or to other structures, or cancer
may be found in lymph nodes near the breastbone; or (2) the tumor is 2 centimeters
or smaller and cancer has spread to axillary lymph nodes that are attached to each
other or to other structures, or the cancer may have spread to lymph nodes near the
breastbone; or (3) the tumor is larger than 2 centimeters but not larger than 5 centimeters
and cancer has spread to axillary lymph nodes that are attached to each other or to
