Hi everyone,
I am new. I was just diagnosed with colon cancer and am just learning to navigate my way through the sea of information that's drowning me.
I have a question and was hoping you can help me better understand something on my patholody report.
Under Microscopic tumor extension, the report states:
Tumor invades through muscular propria into pericolonic soft tissue but does not extend to the surface ...
What does the above mean exactly? does it mean that it reached the peritoneum? Patholody states pT3 ... I am so confused. Can someone make some sense of this for me? Any clarification would be most appreciated.
Thank you.
