Primary tumor: (c)T & pT (TNM7, 2010-)• T & pT
– TX: Not assessable (to be minimized)– T0: No tumor– Tis: carcinoma in situ: intraepithelial tumor or involving the
lamina propria (intramucosal)– T1: Tumor invading into submucosa.– T2: Tumor invading into muscularis propria. – T3: Tumor invading through the muscularis propria into
pericolorectal tissues.– T4a: Tumor penetrating through visceral peritoneum.*– T4b: Tumor invading into adjacent organs or structures*
(through the peritoneum or over the m. propria for retro- or infraperitoneal localizations) (opposite meanings in TNM5)

Implementation delayed• In order to ensure that the cancer care community
has the necessary infrastructure in place for documenting 8th Edition stage, the AJCC Executive Committee, in dialogue with the National Cancer Institute (NCI-SEER), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the College of American Pathologists (CAP), the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN, the National Cancer Data Base (NCDB), and the Commission on Cancer (CoC), made the decision to delay the implementation of the 8th Edition Cancer Staging System to January 1, 2018.

Primary tumor: (c)T &pT (TNM8, 2018-)• T & pT
– TX: Not assessable (to be minimized)– T0: No tumor– Tis: carcinoma in situ tumor involving the lamina propria
(intramucosal carcinoma) only. (Intraepithelial carcinoma = HG dysplasia ≠ pTis)
– T1: Tumor invading into submucosa.– T2: Tumor invading into muscularis propria. – T3: Tumor invading through the muscularis propria.– T4a: Tumor demonstrating serosal involvement.– T4b: Tumor invading into adjacent organs or structures
(through the peritoneum or over the m. propria for retro- or infraperitoneal localizations)

pT3: pT3a (≤ 5 mm from the muscularis propria) & pT3b (> 5 mm from the muscularis propria)
pT3a tumors have a better prognostic profile than pT3b.
These are not TNM categories recognized in the AJCC staging books, but are mentioned in theTNM Supplement (since 1993).

pT4a – peritoneal involvement (TNM8)
• Direct tumor extension• With perforation in which the tumor cells
are continuous with the serosal surfacethrough inflammation
• No pT4a category for non peritonealizedareas (e.g. posterior ascending colon)
• <1mm from serosal surface and accompanied by serosal reaction; if multiple levels exclude serosal surface involvement → pT3

pT4a – peritoneal involvement
1. Lack of peritoneal involvement2. Fibrin and inflammatory exsudate on the peritoneum with tumor cells beneath the peritoneum, but not on it (TNM: pT3)3. Tumor propagation on the peritoneal surface4. Ulceration and apparently free tumor cells floating on the peritoneal surface (especially in crevices)

Lymph nodes: pN (TNM7)• pNX: Not assessable (eg: removed earlier / not removed /
no LNs identified)• pN0: No regional LN metastasis (including isolated tumor
cell clusters)• pN1: Metastasis to 1-3 regional LNs
pN1mi Micrometastasis (>0.2 mm and/or >200 cells, but none > 2.0 mm)
pN1a Metastasis to 1 LN (>2 mm)pN1b Metastasis to 2-3 LN (at least one metastasis >2 mm)pN1c Tumor deposit(s) (TD) in the subserosa, mesocolon,
pericolic, perirectal tissues, without LN structure, if there is no LN metastasis
• pN2: Metastasis to 4 or more regional LNs pN2a Metastasis to 4-6 LNs (at least one metastasis >2
mm) pN2b Metastasis to 7 or more LNs (at least one metastasis
>2 mm)

LNs (TNM8)
• At least 12• Number of nodes correlates with survival• Micrometastasis (may be designated as
pN1mi, but it is better to consider themstandard positive nodes)
• pN0(i+) (<0.2 mm) worse prognosis thanpN0

LNs vs TDs (tumor deposits)
• Lymph nodes have the following features: – capsule, – subcapsular sinus, – lymphoid tissue, often with follicles, – sometimes perinodal lymphoid tissue as well;– they may have smooth muscle in their
capsule– very rarely, it seems, they may have even
elastic fibres in the capsule

Tumor deposits
• Of 400 pts with pT3 N+M0 colon ca 18% had tumor deposits (TD)(TNM5, 1998)
• TD: adenocarcinomawithin adipose or fibrous tissue but not associated with a LN
• Grossly palpatedlesions, generally submitted as LN

Tumor deposits
• Independent factors associated with shorter DFS:– Any TDs (independent of size)– Increasing number of TDs– Increasing number of involved LNs– Grade
• TDs proved to be perivascular (large vessels), intravascular and/or perineuraltumor foci

Lymph node metastasis vs TD• Tumor nodule lacking
elements of a LN• TNM5
– >3 mm: LN metastasis → pN
– ≤3 mm: discontinuous tumor spread → pT
• TNM6– Regular outline: LN

Lymph node metastasis vs TD• Tumor nodule lacking
elements of a LN• TNM7
– Can be: discontinuous tumor spread, completely destroyed LN (N1/2), venous invasion (V1/2),
– If destroyed LN: → pNcategory
– Discontinuous spread, venous invasion (V1/2) → TD(pN1c, if no LN metastasis, for T1-2 tumors)
• TD and V1 on the basis of the orcein (elastica) stain

TD (TNM8)
• No elements of a LN• Not venous invasion (V1, V2), not
lymphovascular (small vessel) involvement(L1), not perineural involvement (Pn1)
• If there is no LN metastasis: pN1c• If there is a LN metastasis: this should not
be added to the number of metastatic nodes

Results• 53 pN1 or pN2• All but 1 staged correctly as pN+ on the basis of
LNs from fraction A• All staged correctly on the basis of A and B (3
cms from the tumor in each direction
SUGGESTION:LNs from below the tumor and its 3 cm-wide perimetry should be evaluated for reliable staging.Look for further LNs if <7, or if pN1 with 3 LNs + !

Further testing
• 762 further CRCs studied - sections A & B (3cm) vs C & D (>3cm) till end 2008
• Only 4/369 N+ cases had metastasis in a LN from segment CD without having metastasis in the AB segment.
• 14 further cases would have been wrongly classified as pN1 instead of pN2
• This error rate is LOWER than the FNR of lymphatic mapping

Sentinel nodes and lymphatic mapping in CRCs
• 85/86 successfull SN identifications
• 29 N+ cases; 15 only SN+ (7 only micrometastatic; 2 only IHC)
• 3 false negative cases (3.6% FNR as reported - 10.3 % FNR as I understand it)
The aim would be a more reliable and improved staging (detailed pathology of SLNs).

Unexpected lymph drainage• Lymphatic mapping studies have
demonstrated that direct drainage may occur from a tumor site to apical or even paraaortic LNs.Merrie AE, et al. Dis Colon Rectum2001;44:410-7.
• This LN proved to be the only positive LN resected with the colon, but was outside the margins of a standard right hemicolectomy, the operation usually performed for a primary carcinoma at the given location.Tsioulias GJ, et al. Arch Surg2000;135:926-32.
