A member asked:
What is the stage of my breast cancer , the lump was 4 cm and out of 11 lymp nodes 9 are positive ?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
See below: 4 cm breast tumor with 9 of 11 positive lymph nodes, with no other clinical information given, would be staged as stage 3 breast cancer (t2, n2, mx). There are many more factors than stage to asses breast cancer & its treatment options & risks.

T2 N2 or stage IIIA: Tumor greater than 2 cm but less than 5 cm is a t2. 4-9 lymph nodes positive makes it n2. Hope this helps. Your oncologist should explain this in detail for you.
