I think I remember the answer to that being margins. I only remember because I would've chosen either of the other two by logic and margins seemed an odd answer..

Anyway, I can't cite any data so somebody correct me if I'm wrong. Those are 3 year-old cobwebs..

LNs

Nodes.

Tumor size and margins are local. Nodes tell of migration.

ND and I may have been reading from the same sources because I feel the same way about breast cancer and have been tripped up on these kinds of questions.

I think it's Lymph nodes too, actually the reason I posed this question is because of a common circulating question set that has it in error.
