Different Stages of Eye Cancer

Doctors further classify intraocular cancer based on four parameters - T (Tumour), N (Node), M (Metastasis) and G (Grade). They then assign the stage of eye cancer by combining these classifications.

The different stages of intraocular cancer are listed in the table below.

What Is the Prognosis and Survival Rate of Eye Cancer Patients?

Survival rates provide an idea of the percentage of people with similar types and stages of intraocular cancer surviving a certain period of time since their diagnosis.

They cannot determine how long an individual will live. However, they can provide them with a clearer understanding of their situation.

For example, SEER (Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results) tracked survival rates of US citizens diagnosed with intraocular cancer from 2009 to 2015. Here are the statistics in terms of localised, regional and distant SEER stages.

Stage	Tumour Size	Description and Conditions
Stage I	Category 1	It does not affect other parts of the eye, ciliary body or regional lymph nodes (T1a, N0, M0).
Stage IIA	Category 1	It may or may not affect the ciliary body. It can be with or without extraocular extension (T1b, T1c, T1d).
Stage IIA	Category 2	It does not affect the ciliary body. It has not spread to other body parts or the regional lymph nodes (T2a, N0, M0).
Stage IIB	Category 2	It involves the ciliary body. It has not spread outside the eyeball (T2b, N0, M0).
Stage IIB	Category 3	It has not spread to the ciliary body, regional lymph nodes, eyeball or other body parts (T3a, N0, M0).
Stage IIIA	Category 2	There is an extraocular spread of diameter 5 mm or less with or without affecting the ciliary body. It has not spread to the lymph nodes or other body parts (T2c or T2d, N0, M0).
Stage IIIA	Category 3	It may or may not affect the ciliary body. There may or may not be an extraocular spread of diameter 5 mm or less. It has not spread to the lymph nodes or other body parts (T3b or T3c, N0, M0).
Stage IIIA	Category 4	It does not affect the ciliary body. It has not spread to the lymph nodes or other body parts (T4a, N0, M0).
Stage IIIB	Category 3	It has affected the ciliary body with an extraocular spread. It has not spread to the lymph nodes or other body parts (T3d, N0, M0).
Stage IIIB	Category 4	It may or may not affect the ciliary body. The tumour may or may not have spread outside the eyeball. It has not spread to the regional lymph nodes or other body parts (T4b or T4c, N0, M0).
Stage IIIC	Category 4	It affects the ciliary body and has spread beyond the eyeball. It has not spread to the regional lymph nodes or other body parts (T4d or T4e; N0, M0).
Stage IV	Any size	It has spread to the lymph nodes and/or other body parts beyond the eye (any T, N1, M0; or, any T, any N, M1).

Stage	Relative Survival Rate (5 Years)
Localised	85%
Distant	13%
Regional	71%
All stages combined	82%
