Oncology: How to "write" pT1mi n zero I minus ER/PR positive - kaye


Posted: Dec 17, 2012

I have looked everywhere trying to figure out how to transcribe.  I got the pT1mi and the ER/PR.  It's the n zero I (eye) minus that I don't know how to write.

Also, if you have a site that is very detailed for cancer staging, etc,  please leave me a link for it. 

i have never seen the "M" come b4 the "N" - MyT_WannyMT

T, N, M (always in that order) should be separated no commas in between (per BOS 3). I have never seen the minus before either.

pT1 N0 Mi minus ER-PR positive would be my guess.

Trying to find the right way is one of those things that sucks all my productivity time. So hard to let go. That staging link is great, thanks for that info.
