| Tx | Primary tumor cannot be assessed |
| T0 | No evidence of primary tumor |
| Tis | Carcinoma in situ |

| T2 | Tumor limited to the pancreas, >2 cm in greatest dimension |
| T3 | Tumor extends beyond the pancreas but without involvement of the celiac axis or the superior mesenteric artery |
| T4 | Tumor involves the celiac axis or the superior mesenteric artery (unresectable primary tumor) |
| N | Regional Lymph Nodes |
|---|---|
| NX | Regional lymph nodes cannot be assessed |
| N0 | No regional lymph node metastasis |
| N1 | Regional lymph node metastasis |
| M | Distant Metastases |
|---|---|
| M0 | No distant metastasis |
