t_stage #

The concept we in STRONG AYA refer to as “t_stage” is identifiable through shortcode ncit:C25728.
In standard vocabularies this shortcode refers to “T Category” and is defined as “One criteria of the TNM staging system. T refers to the extent of tumor involvement at the primary site (T, followed by a number indicating size and depth of invasion).”

t_stage values #

In STRONG AYA, this concept is recorded as “0”, “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, “x” and “missing_or_unspecified”.

The value we in STRONG AYA refer to as “0” is identifiable through shortcode ncit:C48719.
In standard vocabularies this shortcode refers to “T0 TNM Finding” and is defined as “A primary tumor TNM finding indicating that there is no evidence of primary tumor.”

The value we in STRONG AYA refer to as “1” is identifiable through shortcode ncit:C48720.
In standard vocabularies this shortcode refers to “T1 TNM Finding” and is defined as “A clinical and/or pathologic primary tumor TNM finding indicating that the cancer is limited to the site of growth.”

The value we in STRONG AYA refer to as “2” is identifiable through shortcode ncit:C48724.
In standard vocabularies this shortcode refers to “T2 TNM Finding” and is defined as “A general term that refers to a TNM finding of primary tumor growth beyond the level of in situ cancer, minimal subepithelial invasion, or minimal greatest diameter. The definition of T2 TNM finding depends on the specific type of cancer that it refers to; for example, for breast cancer it refers to primary tumor that is more than 2.0 cm, but not more than 5.0 cm in greatest dimension; for cutaneous melanoma it refers to primary tumor that is 1.01 to 2 mm in thickness, with or without ulceration; for colorectal cancer it refers to primary tumor with invasion into the muscularis propria; and for bladder cancer it refers to primary tumor with invasion into the muscle layer.”

The value we in STRONG AYA refer to as “3” is identifiable through shortcode ncit:C48728.
In standard vocabularies this shortcode refers to “T3 TNM Finding” and is defined as “A clinical and/or pathologic primary tumor TNM finding usually indicating that the cancer is locally invasive, without infiltration of adjacent structures.”

The value we in STRONG AYA refer to as “4” is identifiable through shortcode ncit:C48732.
In standard vocabularies this shortcode refers to “T4 TNM Finding” and is defined as “A clinical and/or pathologic primary tumor TNM finding indicating direct invasion of adjacent structures by cancer.”

The value we in STRONG AYA refer to as “x” is identifiable through shortcode ncit:C48737.
In standard vocabularies this shortcode refers to “TX TNM Finding” and is defined as “A primary tumor TNM finding indicating that the status of the primary tumor cannot be assessed.”

The value we in STRONG AYA refer to as “missing_or_unspecified” is identifiable through shortcode ncit:C54031.
In standard vocabularies this shortcode refers to “Missing” and is defined as “Not existing; not able to be found.”
