Breast cancer pathological staging includes tumor size (T), Number of nodes positivity(N), and metastasis(M). If size of tumor 2 cm means(PT1C), one lymph node positivity means(PN1), No metastasis means(M0). So final stage will be STAGE IIA
stage IIA fall in the category of early stage of breast cancer. More than 90% Curable
Next Steps
additional investigation like ER, PR, HER2NEU
reports also required
treatment will be chemotherapy 6-8 cycles followed by radiotherapy
depending er, pr, hER2NEU positivity may require hormonal therapy and antiher2neu therapy(TRASTUZUMAB)
