A member asked:
If someone were to go from stage 1 cancer to stage 2 then 3 then 4, how long does each stage last?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Depends on the type of cancer and even then it varies a lot. Also, cancer progression rarely happens in steps. May be diagnosed as stage 1, 2, or 3 and when it recurs, it is often stage 4. May also present as stage 4.
