Cancer of the ovary, fallopian tube, and peritoneum

FIGO staging classification for cancer of the ovary, fallopian tube, and peritoneum (2014)

StageDescription | TNM classification
ITumor confined to ovaries or fallopian tube(s)
[T1‐N0‐M0]
IATumor limited to 1 ovary (capsule intact) or fallopian tube; no tumor on ovarian or fallopian tube surface; no malignant cells in the ascites or peritoneal washings
[T1a‐N0‐M0]
IBTumor limited to both ovaries (capsules intact) or fallopian tubes; no tumor on ovarian or fallopian tube surface; no malignant cells in the ascites or peritoneal washings
[T1b‐N0‐M0]
ICTumor limited to 1 or both ovaries or fallopian tubes, with any of the following:
IC1Surgical spill
[T1c1‐N0‐M0]
IC2Capsule ruptured before surgery or tumor on ovarian or fallopian tube surface
[T1c2‐N0‐M0]
IC3Malignant cells in the ascites or peritoneal washings
[T1c3‐N0‐M0]
IITumor involves 1 or both ovaries or fallopian tubes with pelvic extension (below pelvic brim) or peritoneal cancer
[T2-N0-M0]
IIAExtension and/or implants on uterus and/or fallopian tubes and/or ovaries
[T2a-N0-M0]
IIBExtension to other pelvic intraperitoneal tissues
[T2b-N0-M0]
IIITumor involves 1 or both ovaries or fallopian tubes, or peritoneal cancer, with cytologically or histologically confirmed spread to the peritoneum outside the pelvis and/or metastasis to the retroperitoneal lymph nodes
[T1/T2-N1-M0]
IIIA1Positive retroperitoneal lymph nodes only (cytologically or histologically proven):
IIIA1(i)Metastasis up to 10 mm in greatest dimension
IIIA1(ii)Metastasis more than 10 mm in greatest dimension
IIIA2Microscopic extrapelvic (above the pelvic brim) peritoneal involvement with or without positive retroperitoneal lymph nodes
[T3a2‐N0/N1‐M0]
IIIBMacroscopic peritoneal metastasis beyond the pelvis up to 2 cm in greatest dimension, with or without metastasis to the retroperitoneal lymph nodes
[T3b-N0/N1-M0]
IIICMacroscopic peritoneal metastasis beyond the pelvis more than 2 cm in greatest dimension, with or without metastasis to the retroperitoneal lymph nodes (includes extension of tumor to capsule of liver and spleen without parenchymal involvement of either organ)
[T3c-N0/N1-M0]
IVDistant metastasis excluding peritoneal metastases
IVAPleural effusion with positive cytology
IVBParenchymal metastases and metastases to extra?abdominal organs (including inguinal lymph nodes and lymph nodes outside of the abdominal cavity)
