cM is a cancer staging term that describes **clinical evidence of distant metastasis**. It is part of the TNM system used to summarize how far a cancer has spread. Clinicians assign cM using information from exams, imaging, and selected tests before definitive treatment. You may see cM in pathology and radiology reports, clinic notes, tumor board summaries, and treatment plans.
