Categories
Characteristics
Isolated tumour cells (ITC)
Single tumour cells or a cluster of tumour cells less than 0.2 mm or fewer than 200 cells are not precisely a metastasis but are instead classified as single tumour cells or a cluster of tumour cells smaller than 0.2 mm or less than 200 cells
Micrometastases
Metastases greater than 0.2 mm or more than 200 cells but smaller than 2.0 mm
