QuestionChoice
The following explains the TNM system with regard to colorectal cancer:

Tumour size:

* Tis - in situ
* T1 - Extends through mucosa into submucosa
* T2 - Extends through submucosa into muscularis
* T3 - Extends through muscularis into subserosa
* T4 - Extends into neighbouring organs

Regional lymph Node involvement:

* N0
* N1 - 1-3 nodes
* N2 - 4+ regional nodes

Distant metastasis present :

* M0 - No metastasis
* M1 - metastasis present

This patient demonstrates a tumour that extends through the submucosa and into the muscularis (T2), involvement of two lymph nodes (N1) and no distant metastases (M0).

A 38 year old man is unfortunately diagnosed with colorectal cancer, following a colonoscopy and biopsy. He undergoes a CT and PET-CT scan of the chest, abdomen and pelvis for staging purposes. This indicates a colonic tumour that had extended into the bowel muscularis but not through the subserosa. Two regional lymph nodes also show evidence of disease. No distant metastasis was found.

Which of the following tumour, node, metastasis (TNM) stages best describes this man's condition?
