(Krukenberg's tumour) Stages of Cancer: Generally speaking, tumors can be sub divided clinically into stage I-IV depending on the degree of metastasis and size of the tumor. Stage I: Tumor confined to the site of origin Stage II: Cancer is locally invasive (in original organ) Stage III: Cancer has spread to regional structures (neighboring tissues) invasion of adjacent structures. Stage IV: Cancer has spread to distant sites. In addition, there is another system for staging called the TNM system:  T= tumour size,  N= node involvement,  M= presence of distant metastasis, Size of Tumour: Includes, T0, T1, T2, and T3. Node Involvement: No involvement N0, involvement N1 Extent of Spread: No metastasis M0. Metastasis M1... The Stage may influence choice of management, i.e., stage I is treated differently from sage IV.
