Breast cancer is classified by stages of development. The classification allows a better understanding of prognosis and treatment.

Early (zero) stage of breast cancer is considered as a state in which the atypical cells are localized in the breast tissue and there are no signs that they have spread to the lymph nodes.

Stage 1 of breast cancer: tumor size less than two centimeters (approximately an inch) and has not spread to surrounding lymph nodes or outside the breast.

Stage 2 breast cancer is divided into two groups: the size of the tumor and whether or not it has spread to the lymph nodes:

Stages of breast cancer

2A: tumor less than 2 cm in cross section with the spread to the lymph node, or tumor from 2 to 5 cm without the spread to auxiliary lymph nodes.

2B: tumor more than 5 cm in cross section (the result of auxiliary lymph nodes research is negative for cancer cells) or tumor from 2 to 5 cm in diameter with the involvement of auxiliary lymph nodes. Late (metastatic) stages of breast cancer occur when cancer cells spread to the lymph nodes and other tissues.

Stage 3 breast cancer is also divided in to two categories:

3A: tumor measures more than 5 cm with spread to auxiliary lymph nodes (local spread of breast cancer) or tumor of any size with metastases in auxiliary lymph nodes, which are weaved to each other or with the adjacent tissues.

3B: tumor (any size) with metastases into the skin, chest wall or internal lymph nodes of mammary gland (found below the breast inside of chest).

Stage 4 is defined by the spread of the cancer to other organs or tissues, such as the liver, lungs, brain, skeletal system, or lymph nodes near the collarbone.

Cancer Treatment in India

Cancer Treatment in India

We now live in both the best of times and the worst of times in which to be diagnosed with cancer. In industrialized countries of the world, most people with cancer have access to well-established standards of care, including state-of-the art, expensive, Cancer Treatment in India modalities. For childhood cancer in particular, this has meant that now some 70% of children stricken with many forms of the deadly disease survive or are cured. In developing and transitional countries, however, the cancer picture continues to be quite bleak and cancer is expected mean death. In these nations, it is estimated that 90% of children with cancer die, and only some 10% have access to Cancer treatment at all.

Greatly improved access to information and the development of electronic media worldwide, now mean that most literate people are aware that modern cancer treatments in India exist. When a loved one anywhere is diagnosed with cancer, families naturally want them to be able to receive the best treatment possible. But if they live in a country where treatments are not available or are priced beyond their reach, they look for other alternatives.

This improved information access has created cruel dilemmas for many families. While the well-off of developing countries have always sought treatment abroad, mostly in the USA or Europe, this option is usually not possible for ordinary citizens. Expectations are further raised by news coverage that highlights extraordinary high-tech medical procedures and Cancer treatments performed in the India. Rarely however are mundane matters like the fact that the India is also unique as the only industrialized nation in the world without a national health system, ever mentioned. The reputation of the India for innovation, resources, technological advances, and the generosity of its people has been well known throughout the world. Therefore people believe that miracles are possible if only one can come to this advantaged nation.

In the developing and transitional countries of the world that have any form of health system, health care services may be provided, but patients must purchase their own medications and supplies. Many basic chemotherapy drugs, for example are either not available or are so astronomically expensive, that patients cannot afford them.

It is also of note that due to the changing immigration patterns in recent years, it is likely that patients from any part of the world may have family or friends living in the USA. Therefore, a normal response for patients diagnosed with cancer in a resource-poor country is to seek care in the India.

Developing adequate cancer control programs worldwide is a challenge that won't be met for some time to come, although incremental progress is being made. The most practical and cost-effective long-term goal is for patients to be able to receive necessary care in their home country or region. However, the patients of today need help now. This fact sheet attempts to address the issues and to present a realistic picture of treatment possibilities.
