How do doctors determine what stage cancer is in and how long a patient has to live?
In: 99
Stage one- cancer is small and localized.
Two- has grown but still localized
Three- grown more and possibly spread to lymph nodes
Four- has spread to other organs and areas of the body
The time is always an estimate. Likely an average just based on other people at that stage, and how healthy they are otherwise.
