>>> Dr. JAY HARNESS: Breast cancer basically has five stages: Stage 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4.
• Stage 0 means in situ (confined inside the ducts).
• Stage 1 typically means an invasive cancer that is smaller and the lymph nodes nearby
are negative.
• Stage 2 typically means that the cancer has now metastasized to the lymph nodes or perhaps you have a larger cancer
but the lymph nodes are not involved with the cancer.
• Stage 3 then is typically one of two things: either a much larger cancer, or a large number
of lymph nodes that are involved with metastatic cancer.
• Stage 4 then is cancer going elsewhere in the body.
So it’s really important that patients understand and know what the stage of their breast cancer
is because, frankly, that
really affects the treatment of their cancer.
