Cancer staging and every random thing i can think of Flashcards
esophageal 1 - 4
critical = 3 vs 4
1 vs 2 endoscopic dx
T3 = adventitia
T 4 = invasion in to adjacent structures
T4a resectable (pleura, pericardium diphragm)
T4b NOT (trachea, aorta)
Rectal
Only really need T2
T3 into perirectal fat
T3 = pre-op chemo and RT
Renal
1 < 7cm
2 > 7cm
3 a Renal vein
3 b IVC below
3 c IVC above diaphragm
4 outside gerota or ipsi adrenal
Bladder
T2 muscularis propia
T3 perivesicular (outside bladder)
T4 a prostate uterus vagina
T4 b pelvic sidewall or abdominal wall
Endometrial
Stage 1 vs 2
cervical stroma invasion (don’t see normal cervical mucosal enhancement)
pre op RT and radiacal hyst
cervical cancer
IIa vs IIb
IIa beyond cervix, no parametrial
IIb = parametrial invasion (or lower 1/3 vagine) = chemo/RT
Prostate
2 vs 3
extracapsular extension
lung
unresectable =
unresesctable = Stage 3B (N3 or T4)
3B = supraclavicular, scalene, contra med/hilar (N3)
Same lung, diff lobe = T4
Malig pleural effusion = 3B
3B = unresectable
Diff lung = M1a
