How are stage 3 and 4 cancer distinguished from each other?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: As a rule, stage 4 are "advanced" but it varies depending on the cancer. Stage 4 breast cancer vs. Lung cancer vs. Head and neck cancer have somewhat different definitions based on the current staging criteria.
