Hi,
Staging systems for carcinoma considers the site of the primary tumor and the cell type , tumor size and/or extent, regional lymph node involvement, number of tumors as well as tumor grade. Factors such as results of physical examination and diagnostic tests including pathology tests are important considerations. It is best that you talk to the attending physician about this for proper evaluation. Take care and hope this helps.
