| Description: |
Three-panel drawing showing the TNM (tumor node metastasis) staging system for breast cancer. The first panel shows a tumor in the breast that measures 20 millimeters with a ruler. The second panel shows cancer that has spread from the breast to three nearby lymph nodes. The third panel shows cancer that has spread from the breast to other parts of the body, including the brain, lung, liver, and bone. Breast cancer staging uses the TNM (tumor node metastasis) staging system to describe the size of the primary tumor and the spread of cancer to nearby lymph nodes or other parts of the body. |
