A Guide To Cancer Stages
Diagnosing cancer will take some steps to find out the cancer stage. Stages of cancer are used to help out doctors find a treatment plan and to help patients recognize the level of their cancer and the prognosis. Staging cancer seems bewildering, but truly, it is easy to understand.
Defining Staging
Cancer stages are determined through a process called staging. Staging determines the severity of the cancer. It is based on the extent of the cancer and how much it has spread in the body. Doctors will perform additional tests to check the body for cancer and to get a good idea of where the cancer is, where it began and if it is spreading.
Importance of Staging
Staging can help in lots of methods. It’s the essential part of the process to determine how to cure cancer. Also, it’s useful for future in researching and understanding of how the cancer in the body reacts. Following are the major reasons why staging is essential:
• Helps form a treatment plan
• Helps in finding out a lung cancer prognosis
• Useful in research studies
The Factors of Staging
Staging is done by looking at different factors. In order to help maintain a level of consistency for staging there are certain elements that are included when determining cancer stages. These elements include:
• Location of the beginning of the cancer
• Number and size of tumors
• Cell type and grade of tumor
• Metastasis extent
Staging Systems
Lung cancer stages are referred to based upon a staging system. The most commonly used staging system is the TNM system. TNM stands for:
T stands for Tumor
N - Lymph Nodes
M - Metastasis
Every letter receives a number added to it to signify the level of the cancer regarding the tumor, lymph nodes and metastasis. The range numbers is from 0 to 4, with 0 being representative of none and 4 being the highest stage of cancer.
Cancer stages are generally based on the five stages of a simple chart. Here's how it looks:
Step 0: Only at the beginning or pre-cancerous cells are present
Stage 1, 2 and 3: Cancer is present and may have spread in the localized area
Step 4: The cancer has spread somewhere else in the body
Knowing the cancer stage is sometimes difficult, however it’s essential. Someone who receives a cancer diagnosis in stage 1 can know that the cancer is easier to cure and as a result the prognosis is probably good.
