It is difficult to answer your question from a scan report. Based on the dimensions, it is T2. But the stage increases if there is extension into neighbouring structures. Enlarged lymph nodes also increase stage. Please consult a surgical oncologist as soon as possible as early cancers can be curable. All the best
