Conjunctival Carcinoma TNM Finding v8

**Semantic type:** Finding

**Definition:** A finding about one or more characteristics of conjunctival carcinoma, following the rules of the TNM AJCC v8 classification system. This classification system applies only to carcinoma of the conjunctiva. Other tumors of the conjunctiva, including secondary conjunctival tumors (e.g., intraocular tumors extending through the conjunctiva, such as uveal melanoma or uveal non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and orbital tumors extending into the conjunctiva, such as rhabdomyosarcoma), are not classified using this schema. Conjunctival lymphomas are staged according to the classification for ocular adnexal lymphoma and conjunctival melanomas are staged according to the classification for conjunctival melanoma. There is no proposal for anatomic stage and prognostic groups for conjunctival carcinoma. (from AJCC 8th Ed.)
