How does Breast Cancer Grow? • Cancer grows in stages. Each stage is a more
advanced form of the disease
• The stages range from 0 to IV, with IV being the most advanced stage in which the cancer has spread through the body
• Early stage Breast Cancer includes Stages 0 to II. Advanced stage Breast Cancer includes Stages III to IV
Stage 0 Cancer is in the lining of a lobule or duct but has not spread anywhere else
Stage I
Cancer has spread the lobules or ducts to nearby tissue. The tumor is about 1 inch (no bigger) and has not spread outside breast
Stage II
Same as Stage I but size of tumor is about 1 to 2 inches, sometimes cancer has spread to lymph nodes
Stage III
Tumors are at least 2 inches or lager, lymph nodes may be infected and may have spread to other tissues near breast
Stage IV
Cancer has spread to other organs in body (most often bones, lungs, liver, brain). Known as “metastatic” cancer.
