DCIS Resection
Pathologic Stage Classification (pTNM, AJCC 8th Edition)(Note J)

Note: Reporting of pT, pN, and (when applicable) pM categories is based on information available to the pathologist at the
time the report is issued. Only the applicable T, N, or M category is required for reporting; their definitions need not be
included in the report. The categories (with modifiers when applicable) can be listed on 1 line or more than 1
line.Assignment of Pathologic Prognostic Stage Group is the responsibility of the managing physician and not the
pathologist.
TNM Descriptors (required only if applicable)
___ r (recurrent)
Primary Tumor (pT)

___ pTis (DCIS): Ductal carcinoma in situ
___ pTis (Paget): Paget disease of the nipple not associated with invasive carcinoma and/orDCIS in
the underlying breast parenchyma#
Note: Paget disease with underlying DCIS is classified as Tis (DCIS).Encapsulated and solid papillary carcinomas without
conventional invasive carcinoma are staged as pTis (DCIS). If there has been a prior core needle biopsy, the pathologic
findings from the core, if available, should be incorporated in the T classification. If invasive carcinoma or microinvasion
were present on the core, the protocol for invasive carcinomas of the breast should be used and should incorporate this
information.
#
Note: Lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) is removed from TNM staging in the AJCC Cancer Staging Manual, 8th Edition.
Regional Lymph Nodes Modifier (required only if applicable)

___ (sn): Sentinel node(s) evaluated. If 6 or more nodes (sentinel or nonsentinel) are
removed, this modifier should not be used.
___ (f): Nodal metastasis confirmed by fine needle aspiration or core needle biopsy.
Note: The (sn) modifier is added to the N category when a sentinel node biopsy is performed (using either dye or tracer) and
fewer than six lymph nodes are removed (sentinel and nonsentinel). The (f) modifier is added to the N category to denote
confirmation of metastasis by fine needle aspiration/core needle biopsy with NO further resection of nodes.
Regional Lymph Nodes (pN) (choose a category if lymph nodes received with the specimen;
immunohistochemistry and/or molecular studies are not required)
___ pNX: Regional lymph nodes cannot be assessed (eg, not removed for pathological study
or previously removed)
___ pN0: No regional lymph node metastasis identified or ITCs only #
___ pN0 (i+): ITCs only (malignant cell clusters no larger than 0.2 mm) in regional lymph node(s)
___ pN0 (mol+): Positive molecular findings (RT-PCR), but no ITCs detected
___ pN1mi: Micrometastases (approximately 200 cells, larger than 0.2 mm, but none larger
than 2.0 mm)”
___ pN1a: Metastases in 1 to 3 axillary lymph nodes, at least 1 metastasis larger than 2.0
mm##
___ pN1b: Metastases in ipsilateral internal mammary sentinel nodes, excluding ITCs
___ pN1c: pN1a and pN1b combined
___ pN2a: Metastases in 4 to 9 axillary lymph nodes (at least 1 tumor deposit larger than 2.0
mm)##
___ pN2b: Metastases in clinically detected internal mammary lymph nodes with or without
microscopic confirmation; with pathologically negative axillary nodes
___ pN3a: Metastases in 10 or more axillary lymph nodes (at least 1 tumor deposit larger
than 2.0 mm)##or metastases to the infraclavicular (Level III axillary lymph) nodes
___ pN3b: pN1a or pN2a in the presence of cN2b (positive internal mammary nodes by
imaging); or pN2a in the presence of pN1b
___ pN3c: Metastases in ipsilateral supraclavicular lymph nodes

#
Isolated tumor cells (ITCs) are defined as small clusters of cells not larger than 0.2 mm or single tumor cells, or a cluster of
fewer than 200 cells in a single histologic cross-section. ITCs may be detected by routine histology or by
immunohistochemical (IHC) methods. Nodes containing only ITCs are excluded from the total positive node count for
purposes of N classification but should be included in the total number of nodes evaluated.
##
Approximately 1000 tumor cells are contained in a 3-dimensional 0.2-mm cluster.Thus, if more than 200 individual tumor
cells are identified as single dispersed tumor cells or as a nearly confluent elliptical or spherical focus in a single histologic
section of a lymph node, there is a high probability that more than 1000 cells are present in the lymph node.In these
situations, the node should be classified as containing a micrometastasis (pN1mi).Cells in different lymph node cross-
sections or longitudinal sections or levels of the block are not added together; the 200 cells must be in a single node profile
even if the node has been thinly sectioned into multiple slices.It is recognized that there is substantial overlap between the
upper limit of the ITC and the lower limit of the micrometastasis categories due to inherent limitations in pathologic nodal
evaluation and detection of minimal tumor burden in lymph nodes.Thus, the threshold of 200 cells in a single cross-section is
a guideline to help pathologists distinguish between these 2 categories.The pathologist should use judgment regarding
whether it is likely that the cluster of cells represents a true micrometastasis or is simply a small group of isolated tumor
cells.
Distant Metastasis (pM) (required only if confirmed pathologically in this case)

___ pM1: Histologically proven metastases larger than 0.2 mm
Specify site, if known ____________________________
+ Specify report ID (if from a separate procedure) _______________________
Note: The presence of distant metastases in a case of DCIS would be very unusual. Additional sampling to identify
invasive carcinoma in the breast or additional history to document a prior or synchronous invasive carcinoma is
advised in the evaluation of such cases
2. Breast Invasive Resection
Pathologic Stage Classification (pTNM, AJCC 8th Edition) (Note M)
included in the report. The categories (with modifiers when applicable) can be listed on 1 line or more than 1 line.

___ pT4a: Extension to the chest wall; invasion or adherence to pectoralis muscle in the
absence of invasion of chest wall structures does not qualify as T4
___ pT4b: Ulceration and/or ipsilateral macroscopic satellite nodules and/or edema
(including peaud’orange) of the skin that does not meet the criteria for
inflammatory carcinoma
___ pT4c: Both T4a and T4b are present
___ pT4d: Inflammatory carcinoma####

#
For the purposes of this case summary, these categories should only be used in the setting of preoperative (neoadjuvant)
therapy for which a previously diagnosed invasive carcinoma is no longer present after treatment.Patients with pathological
complete response (absence of residual invasive carcinoma in both the breast and lymph nodes) should be categorized as
ypT0N0 or ypTisN0, not ypTX.
##
Carcinomas in the breast parenchyma associated with Paget disease are categorized based on the size and
characteristics of the parenchymal disease, although the presence of Paget disease should still be noted.
###
Note: Invasion of the dermis alone does not qualify as pT4.
####
Inflammatory carcinoma requires the presence of clinical findings of erythema and edema involving at least one-third or
more of the skin of the breast (see Note M).
___ (sn): Sentinel node(s) evaluated. If 6 or more nodes (sentinel or nonsentinel) are
removed, this modifier should not be used.
___ (f): Nodal metastasis confirmed by fine needle aspiration or core needle biopsy.
Note: The (sn) modifier is added to the N category when a sentinel node biopsy is performed (using either dye or tracer) and
fewer than six lymph nodes are removed (sentinel and nonsentinel). The (f) modifier is added to the N category to denote
confirmation of metastasis by fine needle aspiration/core needle biopsy with NO further resection of nodes.
Regional Lymph Nodes (pN) (choose a category based on lymph nodes received with the
specimen; immunohistochemistry and/or molecular studies are not required)
Note: If internal mammary lymph nodes, infraclavicular lymph nodes, or supraclavicular lymph nodes are included in the
specimen, consult the AJCC Staging Manual for additional lymph node categories.

or previously removed)
