Pathologic Staging (pTNM)

CAP Approved Gynecologic • Uterine Cervix 4.0.0.0

TNM Descriptors (required only if applicable) (select all that apply)

___ m (multiple primary tumors)

___ r (recurrent)

___ y (posttreatment)

Primary Tumor (pT)

___ pTX: Primary tumor cannot be assessed

___ pT0: No evidence of primary tumor

___ pT1: Cervical carcinoma confined to uterus (extension to corpus should be disregarded)

___ pT1a: Invasive carcinoma diagnosed by microscopy only. Stromal invasion with a maximum depth of 5.0 mm measured from the base of the epithelium and a horizontal spread of 7.0 mm or less. Vascular space involvement, venous or lymphatic, does not affect classification.

___ pT1a1: Measured stromal invasion of 3.0 mm or less in depth and 7.0 mm or less in horizontal spread

___ pT1a2: Measured stromal invasion of more than 3.0 mm and not more than 5.0 mm, with a horizontal spread of 7.0 mm or less

___ pT1b: Clinically visible lesion confined to the cervix or microscopic lesion greater than T1a2/IA2. Includes all macroscopically visible lesions, even those with superficial invasion.

___ pT1b1: Clinically visible lesion 4.0 cm or less in greatest dimension

___ pT1b2: Clinically visible lesion more than 4.0 cm in greatest dimension

___ pT2: Cervical carcinoma invading beyond the uterus but not to the pelvic wall or to lower third of the vagina

___ pT2a: Tumor without parametrial invasion

___ pT2a1: Clinically visible lesion 4.0 cm or less in greatest dimension

___ pT2a2: Clinically visible lesion more than 4.0 cm in greatest dimension

___ pT2b: Tumor with parametrial invasion

___ pT3: Tumor extending to the pelvic sidewall# and/or involving the lower third of the vagina and/or causing hydronephrosis or nonfunctioning kidney

___ pT3a: Tumor involving the lower third of the vagina but not extending to the pelvic wall

___ pT3b: Tumor extending to the pelvic wall and/or causing hydronephrosis or nonfunctioning kidney

___ pT4: Tumor invading the mucosa of the bladder or rectum and/or extending beyond the true pelvis (bullous edema is not sufficient to classify a tumor as T4)


# The pelvic sidewall is defined as the muscle, fascia, neurovascular structures, and skeletal portions of the bony pelvis. On rectal examination, there is no cancer-free space between the tumor and pelvic sidewall.


Regional Lymph Nodes (pN)

___ pNX: Cannot be assessed

___ pN0: No regional lymph node metastasis

___ pN0(i+): Isolated tumor cells in regional lymph node(s) no greater than 0.2 mm

___ pN1: Regional lymph node metastasis

Distant Metastasis (pM) (required only if confirmed pathologically in this case)

___ pM1: Distant metastasis (including peritoneal spread or involvement of the supraclavicular, mediastinal, or distant lymph nodes; lung; liver; or bone)
