Staging of TCC of the ureter

Transitional cell carcinoma of the ureter staging uses the TNM system and is very similar to staging of TCC of the bladder and to staging of TCC of the renal pelvis.

TNM staging (8^th edition)

T

Ta: noninvasive papillary tumor
Tis: in situ (noninvasive flat)
T1: through lamina propria into sub-epithelial connective tissues
T2: into muscularis propria
T3: invasion into periureteric fat
T4: direct invasion into adjacent organs/structures

N

N0: no nodal involvement
N1: single node involved <2 cm
N2
- single node >2 cm, or
- multiple nodes

M

M0: no metastases
M1: metastases identified

Staging groups

Individual TNM stages can then be grouped:

stage 0: Ta or Tis, N0, M0
stage I: T1, N0, M0
stage II: T2(a or b), N0, M0
stage III: T3(a or b) or T4a, N0, M0
stage IV
- T4b, any N, any M
- N1-3, any T, any M
