Staging and Prognostic Factors

Question 1

FIGO Stage IA1

Answer 1

Invasive carcinoma diagnosed only by microscopy. Measured stromal invasion 3.0 mm or less in depth and 7.0 mm or less in
horizontal spread.

Question 2

FIGO Stage IA2

Answer 2

Invasive carcinoma diagnosed only by microscopy.Measured stromal invasion more than 3.0 mm and not more than 5.0 mm with a
horizontal spread 7.0 mm or less

Question 3

FIGO Stage IB1

Answer 3

Clinically visible lesion confined to the cervix or microscopic lesion greater than
T1a/IA2. Tumor 4.0 cm or less in greatest dimension.

Question 4

FIGO Stage IB2

Answer 4

Clinically visible lesion confined to the cervix or microscopic lesion greater than
T1a/IA2. Tumor more than 4.0 cm in greatest dimension.

Question 5

FIGO Stage IIA1

Answer 5

Cervical carcinoma invades beyond uterus but not to pelvic wall or to lower third
of vagina. No parametrial invasion. 4.0 cm or less in greatest dimension.

Question 6

FIGO Stage IIA2

Answer 6

Cervical carcinoma invades beyond uterus but not to pelvic wall or to lower third
of vagina. No parametrial invasion. Tumor more than 4 cm.

Question 7

FIGO Stage IIIA

Answer 7

Tumor involves lower third of vagina, no extension to pelvic wall

Question 8

FIGO Stage IIIB

Answer 8

Tumor extends to pelvic wall and/or causes hydronephrosis or non-functioning
kidney

Question 9

FIGO Stage IVA

Answer 9

Tumor invades mucosa of bladder or rectum, and/or extends beyond true pelvis
(bullous edema is not sufficient to classify a tumor as T4)

Question 10

FIGO Stage IVB

Answer 10

Distant metastasis (including peritoneal spread, involvement of supraclavicular,
mediastinal, or paraaortic lymph nodes, lung, liver, or bone)
