Lymphoma staging: T1bN0M0 "B zero" - ??

Posted: Feb 01, 2013

History of a stage IA, T1bN0M0 "B zero" cutaneous B-cell lymphoma follicle type.

Doc says twice, so not a mistake. I guess it might be related to B symptoms...but can't document it.

B categories:
B0: Less than 5% of lymphocytes in the blood are Sezary cells.
B1: Low numbers of Sezary cells in the blood (more than in B0 but less than in B2).
B2: High number of Sezary cells in the blood (at least 1,000 cells per microliter).

So would be it T1bN0M0, B0 or T1bN0M0B0 - with no space?

I'd go without space unless account specs are different.

Thank you so much :) - :)
