Just reading the letter about my consultation, not sure what all the letters mean:

T3 N1 V0 R0 M0

The T and N I understand but not the others.

  • Hi Jackie

    The M0 indicates the cancer has not spread to other parts of the body - which is good news.

    Not sure what the V0 & R0 are as I just had T4N2M0, I would give them a call to check the meaning or ask at your next appointment, they are both zero which sounds good but ask to be sure.

    I take it you have just been diagnosed - wishing you all the best, if you need any more help post a message this group is very helpful.

    Stay Positive and keep smiling

    Thanks Esclaire55 and yes I have just been diagnosed.

  • Hi , the V0 means there is no vascular invasion, ie no cancer cells are detectable in the blood supply . I think the R is something about residual tumour but don't really know . As it is 0 it is probably nothing to worry about. Hope that helps.
