"N" represents the spread of the cancer to lymph nodes, largely determined by those nodes removed at surgery that contain cancer cells.

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.

What is zero stage cancer?

TNM Staging is used for solid tumors, and is an acronym for the words "Tumor", "Nodes", and "Metastases". Each of these criteria is separately listed and paired with a number to indicate the TNM stage. For example, a T1N2M0 cancer would be a cancer with a T1 tumor, N2 involvement of the lymph nodes, and no metastases (no spreading through the body). * Tumor (T) refers to the primary tumor and carries a number of 0 to 4. * N represents regional lymph node involvement and can also be ranked from 0 to 4. * Metastasis is represented by the letter M, and is 0 if no metastasis has occurred, or else 1 if metastases are present. Simply put it means you could have a tumor; nodes and Metastases (if your doctor has suggested) breast to other cancers and it means that it is in a good stage, but it should be attended too with the suspicion it could turn into cancer and spread.

The mean of n numbers is 5 If the number 13 is now included with the n numbers the new mean is 6 Find the value of n?

The mean of N numbers is the sum of those numbers divided by N. If you include 13 in that set and the new mean is 6, then the original N is 7. Let X be the original sum. You have a system of two simultaneous equations. 1.) X/N = 5 2.) X+13/N+1 = 6 To solve, substitute the value of X from eq. 1 into eq. 2 and then solve eq. 2 for N. (Some steps combined) X = 5N5N+13 = 6(N+1)5N = 6N-7-N = -7N = 7
