Cancer is typically labeled in stages from I to IV, with IV being the most serious. Those broad groups are based on a much more detailed system that includes specific information about the tumor and how it affects the rest of your body. It's important to understand your cancer stage for several reasons: Treatment: It helps your doctor decide which treatment will work best. An early-stage cancer may call for surgery while an advanced-stage cancer may need chemotherapy. Outlook: Your recovery will depend in part on how early the cancer is found. Your stage gives you an idea of your possible outcomes. Research: Most hospitals work with a national database that keeps track of which treatments are used and how well they work. Researchers can compare similar cases to find the most effective treatments. Staging Groups Your doctor will use information from test results (clinical stage) or possibly the tumor itself (pathologic stage) to decide your overall stage. Most cancers that involve a tumor are staged in five broad groups. These are usually referred to with Roman numerals. Other kinds, like blood cancers, lymphoma, and brain cancer, have their own staging systems. But they all tell you how advanced the cancer is. Stage 0 means there's no cancer, only abnormal cells with the potential to become cancer. This is also called carcinoma in situ. Stage I means the cancer is small and only in one area. This is also called early-stage cancer. Stage II and III mean the cancer is larger and has grown into nearby tissues or lymph nodes. Stage IV means the cancer has spread to other parts of your body. It's also called advanced or metastatic cancer. A physical exam and several tests are used to determine your clinical stage -- an estimate of how far the cancer has spread. Tests may include blood and other lab tests and imaging scans. Those may be X-rays or any of the following: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): Powerful magnets and radio waves are used to make detailed images of the affected area. Computerized tomography (CT) scan: Several X-rays are taken from different angles and put together to show more information. Ultrasound: High-frequency sound waves are used to make images of the inside of your body.
