NCIt related terms : Stage IVA Thyroid Gland Medullary Cancer;
NCIt definition : Stage IVA includes: (T4a, N0, M0); (T4a, N1a, M0); (T1, N1b, M0); (T2, N1b, M0); (T3,
N1b, M0); (T4a, N1b, M0). T4a: Moderately advanced local disease. Tumor of any size
extending beyond the thyroid gland capsule to invade subcutaneous soft tissues, larynx,
trachea, esophagus, or recurrent laryngeal nerve. T1: Tumor size 2 cm or less in greatest
dimension, limited to the thyroid gland. T2: Tumor more than 2 cm but not more than
4 cm in greatest dimension, limited to the thyroid gland. T3: Tumor more than 4 cm
in greatest dimension and limited to the thyroid gland, or tumor of any size with
minimal extrathyroid extension (e.g., extension to sternothyroid muscle or perithyroid
soft tissues). T4b: Very advanced disease. Tumor invades prevertebral fascia or encases
carotid artery or mediastinal vessels. N0: No regional lymph node metastasis. N1a:
Metastasis to pretracheal, paratracheal or prelaryngeal/Delphian lymph nodes (Level
VI lymph nodes). N1b: Metastasis to unilateral, bilateral or contralateral cervical
(Levels I, II, III, IV, or V) or retropharyngeal or superior mediastinal lymph nodes
(Level VII). M0: No distant metastasis. (AJCC 7th ed.);
