How many stages of cancer are there for breast cancer?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Stages 0 through 4: There are 5 stages: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4. Stage 0 is a non invasive cancer (dcis), stage 4 is any spread outside of the breast. To determine stage, we need to know the tumor size (t), the lymph node involvement (n) and if there is metastasis (m) or spread out side of the breast. http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/detection/staging.
