The FIGO system stages cancer from stage I to stage IV. Each stage is further subdivided to provide more detailed information about the tumor size, lymph node involvement, and the presence of metastases. Here’s a brief overview:
Stage I: Cancer is confined to the organ where it started. Stage II: Cancer has spread to nearby tissues but is still within the pelvic region. Stage III: Cancer has spread to the pelvis and surrounding lymph nodes. Stage IV: Cancer has spread to distant organs.
