Uterine Cancer

Uterine Cancer

Staging Illustrations

The tumor is confined to the uterus.
The tumor is limited to the endometrium (inner layer of the uterus) or less than halfway through the myometrium (muscular layer of the uterus). 
The tumor has spread to one half or more of the myometrium (muscular layer of the uterus) but is still contained in the uterus. 
The tumor has reached the connective tissue of the cervix but has not spread outside the uterus.
The tumor has spread to the outer layer of the uterus, vagina, parametrium (layer of tissue that separates the cervix from the bladder), ovaries or fallopian tubes. 
The tumor has spread to the outer layer of the uterus and/or the ovaries or fallopian tubes. 
The tumor has spread to the vagina or parametrium (layer of tissue that separates the cervix from the bladder). 
The tumor is confined to the uterus (T1) or has reached the connective tissue of the cervix (T2) or has spread to the outer layer of the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, vagina or parametrium (layer of tissue that separates the cervix from the bladder) (T3); and has spread to pelvic lymph nodes.
The tumor is confined to the uterus (T1) or has reached the connective tissue of the cervix (T2) or has spread to the outer layer of the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, vagina or parametrium (layer of tissue that separates the cervix from the bladder) (T3); and has spread to nearby para-aortic lymph nodes (lymph nodes along the aorta), with or without spread to the pelvic lymph nodes.
The tumor has reached the bladder and/or bowel and likely has spread to nearby lymph nodes.
The tumor may be any size, may have spread to lymph node(s) and has spread to one or more distant parts of the body.
