Overview of ovarian cancer phase 3

Ovarian cancer is a serious level III cancer that has spread, are part of the pelvic region and organs and lymph organs (liver, intestines, etc.), and is easier to diagnose. It is used in the forecast made by a physician.



Ovarian cancer III is set for the determination of the TNM system rating. TNM is the size of the tumour, for registration, status of node metastasis or spread and the class of the tumor. We finally let doctors how long a patient has live, and if they will survive. These factors include:



Each part is defined as follows:



Determination of the TNM scoring system



Tumor size-distribution of phase III, the tumor may be defined only as one of the following values:



T3: the tumor is in an ovary (or two); the tumor has invaded the tissues in the pelvic region outside the pelvic region and lymph node (s); In cancer cells of fluids (ascites) washing stomach or abdominal cavity (peritoneal washing liquid)



Zum: cancer is in an ovary (or two); the spread of the tumour tissue includes in the pelvic region, outside the pelvic region and also the pelvic region



Münster: cancer is in an ovary (or two); the tumor has spread in the pelvic region, outside the pelvic region, fabrics and is also the pelvic region, now see a maximum size of 2 cm and without a microscope



T3c: tumor is an ovary (or two); incorporates the tumor tissue found in the pelvic region, pelvic region and also the pelvic region, now of 2 cm or in size and is easy to see



Inclusion of node-is like cancer in phase III of the classification:



N1: tumor spread to lymph nodes



Supply of metastasis or spread-like phase III cancer found was, can only be used the following classification:



M1: distant metastasis found somewhere



Grade of the tumor.



The classification of cancer shows the maturity of the cancer cells in the ovaries (s). How cancer is now in phase III, can be classified only as follows:



Class 2: a combination of normal and cancerous cells. Cancer cells represent on all cells



Class 3: a few might remain normal cells; most or all the cells are carcinogenic



The level is low, the slower growth, a cancer and better patient survival. More degrees, faster the tumor can grow or spread and greatly decreases the chance of survival. In this case phase III has greatly reduced the ability of patients with cancer of the ovaries of recovery or survival.



Scene groups



Step groups are used for the order of the factors the TNM classification system. Groupings are as follows: phase III



Phase III



Stage IIIa: N0, M0, Zum



Stage IIIb: Münster, N0, M0



Stage IIIc: T3c, N0, M0 or T (changed), N1, M0
