what does stage 2 prostate cancer mean?
234274
Stage II: The tumor is found only in the prostate. PSA levels are medium or low. Stage II prostate cancer is small but may have an increasing risk of growing and spreading. Stage IIA: The tumor cannot be felt and involves half of 1 side of the prostate or even less than that.

The earliest stage colorectal cancers are called stage 0 (a very early cancer), and then range from stages I (1) through IV (4). As a rule, the lower the number, the less the cancer has spread. A higher number, such as stage IV, means cancer has spread more. And within a stage, an earlier letter means a lower stage.

This stage means that the cancer has spread to other organs or parts of the body. It may also be called advanced or metastatic cancer.

Stage II (stage 2 cervical cancer): Stage II cervical cancer means that the cancer has grown beyond the cervix and uterus but has not reached the walls of the pelvis or the lower part of the vagina. In this stage of cervical cancer, the disease has not spread to lymph nodes or distant sites.

The main stages of prostate cancer range from I (1) through IV (4). Some stages are split further (A, B, etc). As a rule, the lower the number, the less the cancer has spread. A higher number, such as stage IV, means cancer has spread more.

Stage III. Stage III cancers have grown outside the prostate and may have reached the bladder or rectum (T4). They have not spread to lymph nodes or distant organs. These cancers are more likely to come back after treatment than earlier stage tumors.

Stage 2 pancreatic cancer is cancer that remains in the pancreas and may have spread to a few nearby lymph nodes. It has not spread to nearby tissues or blood vessels, and it has not spread to sites elsewhere in the body. Pancreatic cancer is difficult to detect in the early stages, including stage 2.

About 1 man in 41 will die of prostate cancer. Prostate cancer can be a serious disease, but most men diagnosed with prostate cancer do not die from it. In fact, more than 3.1 million men in the United States who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer at some point are still alive today.
673381
Even if the diagnosis can be worrying: Low-risk prostate cancer grows only very slowly, or sometimes doesn't grow at all. So the chances of recovery are very good. Over a time period of 10 years, only 1 out of 100 men who have low-risk prostate cancer will die of this disease.

Stage II (stage 2 colorectal cancer): Stage II colorectal cancer is divided into three categories: Stage IIA: The cancer has grown into the serosa (the outermost layer of the colon or rectum), but has not grown through it. It has not reached nearby organs or lymph nodes, and has not spread to distant organs.

Stage 2A. Stage 2A means that the cancer is between 4cm and 5cm in size but there are no cancer cells in any lymph nodes.

Most men with early prostate cancer don't have changes that they notice. Signs of prostate cancer most often show up later, as the cancer grows. Some signs of prostate cancer are trouble peeing, blood in the pee (urine), trouble getting an erection, and pain in the back, hips, ribs, or other bones.

stage II – the cancer has grown, but hasn't spread. stage III – the cancer is larger and may have spread to the surrounding tissues and/or the lymph nodes (part of the lymphatic system)

Fewer men (about 7 %) have more advanced prostate cancer at the time of diagnosis. Once prostate cancer has spread beyond the prostate, survival rates fall. For men with distant spread (metastasis) of prostate cancer, about one-third will survive for five years after diagnosis.

Stage II lung cancer is when your doctor finds one or more tumors, but only in one lung. The cancer may or may not have spread to the nearest lymph nodes. But it hasn't reached distant sites like your bones or other organs.

The symptoms and signs of prostate cancer may include: Frequent urination. Weak or interrupted urine flow or the need to strain to empty the bladder. The urge to urinate frequently at night.

Stage-2 Prostate Cancer (Divided Into IIA and IIB Stages) The tumor may or may not be detectable through a physical examination or imaging tests and still has not spread outside of the prostate. However, in stage-2 the cells have a higher Gleason score and may grow more quickly.
