Hi all,
Is there any good way of staging cancer recurrence? E.g. how do you fill out the staging paperwork for a woman who originally had a T3N1M0 breast cancer who completed treatment a few years ago but has now developed 2 small skin nodule recurrences at the scar (with full restaging investigations showing no distant mets)?
Or someone with a glottic tumor originally involving both vocal cords i.e. T1bN0M0 who has completed treatment and presents with a recurrence limited to one vocal cord (i.e. would be T1a if it was the original cancer).
Is there a "TNM" or "Stage I-IV" way of doing this?
Thanks,
Bob
