means that the tumor is malignant and has spread to the lymph nodes around the original cancer. Lymph nodes are small structures found all over the body that make and store infection-fighting cells.
If the tumor penetrates less than 1mm, dissection is not usually done.

T refers to the tumor size. N refers to what lymph nodes are affected. M refers to whether it has metastasized. T1N2M0 would be a small tumor that has spread to some lymph nodes but has not broken off and travelled to distant parts of the body. Exactly what it means varies according the tumor.
Cervical lymph nodes are removed in a radical neck dissection.
