The stages 0-IV
Stage 0 is noninvasive breast cancer, that is, carcinoma in situ with no affected
lymph nodes or metastasis. This is the most favorable stage to find breast cancer.
Stage I is breast cancer that is less than three quarters of an inch in diameter and
has not spread from the breast.
Stage II is breast cancer that is fairly small in size but has spread to lymph nodes
in the armpit OR cancer that is somewhat larger but has not spread to the lymph
nodes.
Stage III is breast cancer of a larger size (greater than 2 inches in diameter), with
greater lymph node involvement, or of the inflammatory type. Spreading to other
areas around the breast.
Stage IV is metastatic breast cancer: a tumor of any size or type that has
metastasized to another part of the body (ex. bones, lungs, liver, brain). This is the
least favorable stage to find breast cancer.
