The difference is determined by the size of the tumor and whether the breast cancer has spread to the lymph nodes.

stage I – the cancer is small and hasn't spread anywhere else. stage II – the cancer has grown, but hasn't spread. stage III – the cancer is larger and may have spread to the surrounding tissues and/or the lymph nodes (part of the lymphatic system)

Stage 1 – Cancer has grown deep into the skin, but has not spread to nearby lymph nodes or healthy tissues. Stage 2 – Cancer has grown deep into the skin and displays one or more high-risk features (such as metastasis to nerves or lower skin layers), but has not spread to nearby lymph nodes or healthy tissues.

Stage I cancer is no more than 2 centimeters in size (about 1 inch) and has not spread to lymph nodes in the area. Stage II cancer is more than 2 centimeters, but less than 4 centimeters (less than 2 inches) and has not spread to lymph nodes in the area.
871958
Stage 2 – Cancer has spread to a regional area or into nearby tissues or lymph nodes. Stage 3 – More advanced regional spread than Stage 2. Stage 4 – Cancer has spread to distant parts of the body. This stage is often referred to as metastatic cancer, or a cancer that has spread to other areas of the body.

What is stage II (stage 2) breast cancer? Also known as invasive breast cancer, the tumor in this stage measures between 2 cm to 5 cm, or the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes under the arm on the same side as the breast cancer. Stage II breast cancer indicates a slightly more advanced form of the disease.

Stage 2 breast cancer The cancer in the breast is 2cm or smaller and cancer is found in one to three lymph nodes under the arm or near the breastbone. The cancer in the breast is larger than 2cm but smaller than 5cm and no cancer is found in the lymph nodes under the arm.

sel lung KAN-ser) Stage II non-small cell lung cancer is divided into stages IIA and IIB. In stage IIB, the tumor is 5 centimeters or smaller and cancer has spread to the lymph nodes on the same side of the chest as the primary tumor. The lymph nodes with cancer are in the lung or near the bronchus.

Stage II (stage 2 throat cancer): The tumor has grown larger (usually between 2 cm and 4 cm) but still remains within the throat. There is no evidence of spread to lymph nodes or distant sites. Stage III (stage 3 throat cancer): The tumor has grown beyond the throat and may extend into nearby tissues or organs.

Stage 1 breast cancer means the cancerous cells are invading the surrounding breast tissue. Stage 1 breast cancer has two subcategories – 1A and 1B. People with stage 1A breast cancer have breast cancer with: A tumor measuring no more than 2 centimeters (cm) in diameter that has not spread outside the breast.

Stage IV (stage 4 bone cancer): Stage IV bone cancer is the most advanced form of the disease. In stage IV, the cancer has spread beyond the bone to other areas of the body. For bone cancer, staging also takes into account how abnormal the cells look under the microscope (the grade).
