What does nodal status mean in relation to breast cancer?
The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) TNM system is a staging system that classifies cancers based on their T, N, and M stages, which is to say their Tumor, Node and metastasis. The nodal status refers to the "N" portion of this classification system. The N indicates the presence, if any, of cancer spread to other lymph nodes. The system is: NX: Regional lymph nodes cannot be assessed. N0: Cancer has not spread to regional lymph nodes. N1: Cancer has spread to 1 to 3 lymph node(s) under the arm N2: Cancer has spread to 4 to 9 lymph nodes under the arm N3: Cancer has spread to 10 or more lymph nodes under the arm or also involves lymph nodes in other areas around the breast. The TNM, taken together, yield the stage of breast cancer a patient is in.

Does cancer present as a swelling under the arm pit?
The most likely cancer that would present as a mass in the arm pit is breast cancer. This is due to lymph node swelling, as a result of breast cancer that has metastasized to lymph nodes in the "tail" of the breast tissue in and near the arm pit.However, before becoming overly concerned about a swelling in the arm pit, check with your physician first. There are many more benign causes than malignant causes.
