Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Stage II: This stage describes a larger, noninvasive tumor (T2) with no spread to lymph nodes (N0) and no metastasis (M0). Stage III: This stage describes a tumor larger than 4 cm but still contained in the thyroid (T3) with no spread to lymph nodes (N0) and no metastasis (M0).
Detailed explanation-2: -Stage 3. Stage 3 means the cancer has grown outside the thyroid into nearby soft tissue, such as the voice box (larynx), windpipe (trachea), food pipe (oesophagus) or the voice box nerve (recurrent laryngeal nerve). It might have spread to the nearby lymph nodes but not to other parts of the body.
