Stage A: Tumour limited to the nasal fossa
Stage B: Tumour extension into the paranasal sinuses
Stage C: Tumour extension beyond the paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity
Stage D: Distant metastasis
Table 3 Tumor, node, metastasis staging system

T2Tumour involving the nasal cavity and/or paranasal sinuses (including the sphenoid) with extension to or erosion of the cribriform plate
T3Tumour extending into the orbit or protruding into the anterior cranial fossa, without dural invasion
T4Tumour involving the brain
N0No cervical lymph-node metastasis
N1Any form of cervical lymph-node metastasis
M0No metastases
M1Distant metastasis
