NCIt definition : Stage II includes: IIA (T2a, N0, M0); IIB (T1, N1, M0), (T2, N1, M0), (T2a, N1, M0);
(T2b, N0, M0); (T2b, N0, M0); (T2b, N1, M0). T2: Tumor extends to soft tissues. T2a:
Tumor extends to the oropharynx and/or nasal cavity without parapharyngeal extension.
T2b: Any tumor with parapharyngeal extension. N1: Unilateral metastasis in lymph node(s),
6 cm or less in greatest dimension, above the supraclavicular fossa. M0: No distant
metastasis. (AJCC 6th ed.);
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: Cancer (1) is found in the nasopharynx only or has spread from the nasopharynx
to the oropharynx (the middle part of the throat, including the soft palate, base
of the tongue, and tonsils) and/or to the nasal cavity. Cancer has spread to one or
more lymph nodes on one side of the neck and/or to lymph nodes behind the pharynx,
and the affected lymph nodes are 6 centimeters or smaller; or (2) is found in the
parapharyngeal space (area near the pharynx, between the base of the skull and the
lower jaw). Cancer may have spread to one or more lymph nodes on one side of the neck
and/or to lymph nodes behind the pharynx, and the affected lymph nodes are 6 centimeters
or smaller.;
