  – IB (T1b): Invades ≥ 50% of the myometrium
• II (2): Invades cervix, but no extension beyond the uterus
• III (3): Local and/or regional spread
  – IIIA (T3a): Involves the serosa and/or adnexa
  — IIIB (T3b): Involves the vagina and/or parametrium
  — IIIC1 (N1): Pelvic lymph node metastasis
  — IIIC2 (N2): Para-aortic lymph node metastasis
• V: Metastasis
  – IVA (4): Invades bladder and/or bowel mucosa
  – IVB (M1): Distant metastasis, including inguinal lymph node involvement
