  5. Stages of Cancer • In situ cancer Early cancer that has not invaded the basement membrane of tissue in which it developed. • Invasive cancer Cancer that has spread beyond the BM and is growing into surrounding healthy tissues. It is usually divided into 4 stages. TNM (T:Tumour size, L: Lymph node status and M: Metastasis) is used for breast cancer.

  6. Staging helps describe where a cancer is located, if or where it has spread, and whether it is affecting other parts of the body. Doctors often use diagnostic tests to determine a cancer’s stage. Knowing the stage helps the doctor: • Plan treatment, including the type of surgery and/or whether chemotherapy or radiation therapy are needed • Predict the chance that the cancer will come back after the original treatment • Predict the chance of recovery • Talk about the diagnosis in a clear, common language with the entire health care team • Determine how well the treatment worked • Compare how well new treatments work among large groups of people with the same diagnosis

  7. Cancer stage grouping Doctors combine the T, N, M results and other factors specific to the cancer to determine the stage of cancer for each person. Most types of cancer have four stages: stages I (1) to IV (4). Some cancers also have a stage 0 (zero) • Stage 0. This stage describes cancer in situ, which means “in place.” Stage 0 cancers are still located in the place they started and have not spread to nearby tissues. This stage of cancer is often highly curable, usually by removing the entire tumor with surgery. • Stage I. This stage is usually a small cancer or tumor that has not grown deeply into nearby tissues. It also has not spread to the lymph nodes or other parts of the body. It is often called early-stage cancer. • Stage II and Stage III. In general, these 2 stages indicate larger cancers or tumors that have grown more deeply into nearby tissue. They may have also spread to lymph nodes but not to other parts of the body. • Stage IV. This stage means that the cancer has spread to other organs or parts of the body. It may also be called advanced or metastatic cancer.

  8. Conclusion Hence the diagnosis and treatment of cancer is a key component of any overall cancer control plan. Its main goal is to cure cancer patients or prolong their life considerably, ensuring a good quality of life. In order for a diagnosis and treatment programme to be effective, it must never be developed in isolation. It needs to be linked to an early detection programme so that cases are detected at an early stage, when treatment is more effective and there is a greater chance of cure. It also needs to be integrated with a palliative care programme, so that patients with advanced cancers, who can no longer benefit from treatment, will get adequate relief from their physical, psychosocial and spiritual suffering. Furthermore, programmes should include a awareness-raising component, to educate patients, family and community members about the cancer risk factors and the need for taking preventive measures to avoid developing cancer.
