You may hear people talk about “Stage 4” or “Grade 2” and find it confusing or even terrifying. Grading refers to what the cells look like. How much do the cancer cells look like normal cells under a microscope? A low grade means that the cells are growing slowly; a high grade means they look abnormal and may grow faster. Staging refers to how far the cancer has spread and is usually numbered 1 to 4. Stage 1 means the cancer is small and contained where it started. Stages 2 & 3 refers to cancers that are larger or has spread into nearby tissues/lymph nodes. At Stage 4, the cancer has spread to another part of the body and is considered advanced, and this may be referred to as a metastatic cancer.Read a transcript
