Stages of Breast Cancer

Scripture of the Day:

Jeremiah 17:14 (NLT)

O Lord, if you heal, I will truly be healed; if you save me, I will truly be saved. My praises are for you alone.

Breast cancer stages

Deciding on your treatment is going to depend on what stage 

of breast cancer you are in. I would like to just clarify the stages

of breast cancer. 

Stage 0 - (noninvasive, carcinoma in situ) breast cancer

   In stage 0, there is no evedicen of cancer cells breaking out 

   of the part of the breast in which they started, or of getting

   through to or invading neighboring normal tissue

Stage 1 breast cancer

   In stage 1, the tumor measures up to two centimeters and 

   no lymph nodes are involved

Stage II breast cancer (invasive breast cancer)

   In stage II, the tumor measures between 2 to 5 centimeters, 

   or the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes under the arm

   on the same side as the breast cancer.

Stage III (Locally advanced) breast cancer

   In stage III, the tumor in the breast is more than two inches 

   in diameter across the and the cancer is extensive in the

   underarm lymph nodes, or has spread to other lymph

   nodes or tissues near the breast.

Stage IV (metastatic) breast cancer

   In stage IV, the cancer has spread beyond the breast, 

   underarm and internal mammary lymph nodes to other parts

   of the body near or distant from the breast

Recurrent breast cancer

   In recurrent breast cancer, the name speaks for itself. 

   In recurrent breast cancer, the disease has returned in

   spite of the initial treatment.

I have posted previously much more information about each

stage. This is just a run-down of what the stages are. For more

information about each stage use the following link and then 

click on the links provided for each individual stage. That 

will be easier than trying to scroll back through my posts to

find it.
