The prognosis and choice of treatment depend on the extent to which stage the cancer, tumor size, or type of lung cancer.
STAGE EXTENSION
Staging is a classification that is performed after appropriate studies to define the extent of cancer (cancer cells) by the lung, or areas near the body.
Thus we can distinguish the following stages as cancer cells are found in:
Limited stage: cells appear only in one lung and nearby lymph nodes.
Extensive stage: Cancer cells have spread outside the lung to other tissues in the chest or other body parts.
Recurrent Stage: When cells appear again after receiving treatment.
