Stage 4 is the most severe stage. In this stage, a person's cancer is in organs and areas. Away from the original spot of cancer. The chances of survival will depend on the type of cancer.

Basically staging is the process of measuring how speedily cancer has spread when it is first diagnosed in the body of patient.
There are four stages of cancer.
Stage 0 to Stage 4.
Stage 1: is mean that cancer cell are not spread yet in the body. They are still in the place where they started.
Stage 2: This stage means that this is going to spread from near parts of the body .
Stage 3: same like stage 2 , this stage also means that cancer cells are spread in near parts of the body.
Now Stage 4 : This cancer is called advanced cancer. While finding out that the person is in stage 4 cancer is really very shocking and frighting ; It is very important information for the doctor to know.
