Stage groupings
FIGO 2021 staging summary
FIGO Stage |
Description |
---|---|
I |
Tumour confined to the vulva |
IA |
Lesions ≤ 2 cm in size, confined to the vulva or perineum and with stromal invasion ≤ 1.0 mma, no nodal metastasis |
IB |
Lesions > 2 cm in size or with stromal invasion > 1.0 mma, confined to the vulva or perineum, with negative nodes |
II |
Tumour of any size with extension to adjacent perineal structures (lower third of urethra, lower third of vagina, anus) with negative nodes |
III |
Tumour of any size with or without extension to adjacent perineal structures (lower third of urethra, lower third of vagina, anus) with positive inguinofemoral nodes |
IIIA |
Tumour of any size with extension to upper part of adjacent perineal structures, or with any number of nonfixed, nonulcerated lymph node. Tumour of any size with disease extension to upper two-thirds of the urethra, upper two-thirds of the vagina, bladder mucosa, rectal mucosa, or regional lymph node metastases ≤5 mm |
IIIB |
Regional lymph node b metastases >5 mm |
IIIC |
Regional lymph node metastases with extracapsular spread |
IV |
Tumour invades other regional (upper 2/3 urethra, upper 2/3 vagina), or distant structures |
IVA |
Disease fixed to pelvic bone, or fixed or ulcerated regional lymph node metastases |
Note:
a Method for measurement of depth of invasion has been changed:
FIGO 2021 – The depth of invasion is measured from the basement membrane of the deepest, adjacent, dysplastic, tumour-free rete ridge (or nearest dysplastic rete peg) to the deepest point of invasion.
b Regional refers to inguinal and femoral lymph nodes
Isolated tumour cells do not change the stage but their presence should be recorded.
