Adrenal Cancer Stages
Adrenal Cancer Stages
The stage of cancer tells how much and how far the disease has spread. By using exams and tests, a doctor can tell the stage of a person's adrenal cancer. A cancer's stage is one of the most important factors in deciding what treatment to have for the cancer.
There are four stages of adrenal cancer, shown in Roman numerals going from I (the earliest stage) to IV (the most advanced stage).
The tumor is 5 centimeters (cm) or less across and the cancer has not spread outside the adrenal gland. Five cm is about 2 inches.
The tumor is larger than 5 cm (2 inches) across and the cancer has not spread outside the adrenal gland.
The tumor has either grown into the fat outside the adrenal gland or has spread to neighboring lymph nodes.
The tumor has grown into the fat outside the adrenal gland and nearby lymph nodes, or it has grown into nearby organs, or it has spread to distant areas.
Recurrent cancer means that the cancer has come back after it has been treated.
