Blog Entry for 4-11-11

So far I learn from my topic is the stages of breast cancer. The TNM classification for breast cancer is based on the size of the tumor, whether or not  the tumor as spread to the lymph nodes in the armpits, and whether the tumor has spread to a more distant part of the body. The main stages are:
  • Stage 0 is a pre-cancerous or marker condition, either ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) or lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS)
  • Stages 1-3 are defined as 'early' cancer with good prognosis
  • Stage 4 is defined as 'advanced' and or 'metastatic' cancer with poor progonosis

    How are the different stages treated? Are they treated differently or the same?
