My grandma was diagnosed with breast cancer that has spread to 2 lymph nodes. what stage is that?

Depends: Lymph nodes are one aspect of evaluation for stage and treatment of breast cancer. It also depends on the size of the breast cancer itself. Your grandmother could have stage 2a, 2b, 3a or 3b. Depends on the size of the breast tumor as to the stage. Ask her oncologist for more accurate information.

Neoplasm: Should be stage ii. Talk to her oncologist. Type of cancer, grade, hormone receptor status and some other factors need to be understood as well.

Lymph Nodes: Stage 3 cancer means the breast cancer has extended to beyond the immediate region of the tumor and may have invaded nearby lymph nodes and muscles, but has not spread to distant organs. Although this stage is considered to be advanced, there are a growing number of effective treatment options.
