On a 1 to 4 scale: Doctors like to say how far advanced a cancer is on a scale of 1 to 4. The specifics of each cancer can vary somewhat, but a stage 1 cancer is small and hasn't spread much, and usually does not require much treatment. A stage 3 is bigger, may have spread around where it originally started, but hasn't spread throughout the body. It usually needs surgery combined with other treatments like chemo.
