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. M1: Distant
metastasis. (AJCC 7th ed.);
