You have been diagnosed with prostate cancer, and your doctor has used the TNM system to rate your cancer. You want to know what treatment options you have but treatments are based on stages. Answer these few questions to find out what treatment options are most recommended for you based on your cancer stage.
In order to determine your staging for treatment, you will need to know:
- Your T number (examples: T1c, T2a)
- Your M number (examples: M0, M1a, M1b)
- Your N number (examples: N0, N2)
Question I: What is your M#?
The M# indicates if your cancer has metastasized. M0=no metastasis.
