AJCC TNM Post Therapy Clin (yc) M

Yes

Description

Identifies the presence or absence of distant metastasis (M) of the tumor as known in the clinical stage before initiation of neoadjuvant therapy and records this information following the completion of neoadjuvant therapy (satisfying the definition for that disease site) and before planned post- neoadjuvant therapy surgical resection.

Rationale

The CoC requires that AJCC TNM staging be used in its accredited cancer programs. The CoC requires use of the current AJCC Staging System in its accredited program cancer registries when the planned post- neoadjuvant therapy surgery has been canceled.
