Guest guest Posted February 28, 2002 Report Share Posted February 28, 2002 Deb, I am pretty sure that should be CIN-2 but not sure about the XMX.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2002 Report Share Posted February 28, 2002 I forgot one more thing. If you hear " TIS " it would be written as Tis (with the T capitalized and the " is " in small letters). The " T " indicates the size of the tumor and the " is " stands for in situ.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2002 Report Share Posted March 1, 2002 I don't know a whole lot about it, so don't take it as any kind of criticism from me, but would CIN-2 actually fit in this instance. The reason I ask is that in AAMT BOS on page 49, it says that CIN stands for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, and we're talking about renal cancer here. I was wondering if this could all be under the TNM classification of malignant tumors explained on pages 50 and 51 of AAMT BOS. You express TNM classifications with arabic numerals and commas: T2, N1, M1 or T4, N3, M1. Besides those numbers, you could also have an " X " after the T, N or M which means assessment cannot be done, or 0 (zero, not o), which means no evidence found, and Tis indicates in situ tumor: Tis, N0, M0. Staging indicators are used along with TNM criteria to define cancers and assess stage. These are expressed with capital letters and arabic numerals. grade GX, G1, G2, G3 host performance H0, H1, H2, H3, H4 lymphatic invasion LX, L0, L1, L2 residual tumor RX, R0, R1, R2 scleral invasion S0, S0, S1, S2 (hmmm...wondering if that first one should have been SX...why would they put S0 twice?) venous invasion VX, V0, V1, V2 Lowercased prefixes with TNM and other symbols indicate criteria used to describe and stage the tumor. Place the prefix on-line, e.g., cTNM, aT2. I don't know if any of this helps, but it just appears to match more closely to what you have typed with the X's and L, T and M. Maybe you can make some sense out of it since you're the one actually hearing what the doc is saying. Hope it helps. ) ----Original Message Follows---- To: Debrah Strader , nmtc <nmtc > Subject: Re: STAGING QUESTION Date: Thu, 28 Feb 2002 08:08:16 -0800 Deb, I am pretty sure that should be CIN-2 but not sure about the XMX.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2002 Report Share Posted March 1, 2002 I feel like I'm beating a dead horse here, but did any of you see the post I sent in yesterday on T, N, M staging? I'm wondering because I never got it and I always do if stuff is posted to the list. I explained T, N, and M in the same manner as J. L. below. OK, so I can deal with not RECEIVING e-mail but now apparently I can't trust that my responses are going out. Great! Lovely! Think I'll quit now. Grrrr...COMCAST!

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2002 Report Share Posted March 2, 2002 Wait, wait. I'm thinking after I posted that, I did see that you had responded with something similar before me and I just hadn't read it yet. So it got through okay, I think. ) ----Original Message Follows---- To: nmtc <nmtc > Subject: Re: STAGING QUESTION Date: Fri, 01 Mar 2002 14:08:42 -0500 I feel like I'm beating a dead horse here, but did any of you see the post I sent in yesterday on T, N, M staging?
