● Stage I
This stage is referred to as the condition where cancer has been witnessed in a small area and has not started to spread in size yet. It is an early stage that can be handled depending on the condition of a patient.
● Stage II and Stage III
These two stages define a larger distribution of cancer in the affected areas and the nearby tissues and/or lymph nodes. This shows progression in detected cancer.
● Stage IV
Stage IV is considered to be very serious as detected cancer has spread to different organs and tissues of a patient. It is also termed as metastatic or advanced cancer.
