Characteristics of three categories of lymph node metastasis.

CategoriesCharacteristics

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
MicrometastasesMetastases greater than 0.2 mm or more than 200 cells but smaller than 2.0 mm
MacrometastasesMetastases greater than 2.0 mm
