Some places like it all run together as you have typed, others like commas between (i.e., mpT2(i), N0(i+) MP, and others just like spaces between (i.e., mpT2 N0 M0). I've worked for a few hem/onc accounts and it seems each one has wanted it transcribed differently (as in most cases, no consistency whatsoever). Anddddd...Not awake yet, on my first cappuccino, so please don't be harsh about any typos, LOL!.
