Steve, I've seen it on some
Steve, I've seen it on some profiles but it really doesn't matter. Since all my cancer was removed during surgery, that didn't make me a Stage 0. Tx depends on original dx or highest dx. I think an restaging could mislead someone and have them not accept treatment!! IMHO0 -
I've seen the term
I've seen the term down-staging of tumors in a few studies in context to neoadjuctive chemo/rad. Also used by a couple surgeons I spoke too. You still have the same stage of cancer, but the restaging of the tumor affect options for surgery.0
