Breast cancer is classified by stages. There are five stages of breast cancer, (stages 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4). Doctors use a specific classification system, known as the TNM (tumor, node, metastasis) system to stage breast cancer and guide treatment.1 This article explains what is involved...
Stage IV ovarian cancer means it has spread to other parts of your body. Learn more about treatment options and what survival rates mean for you.
Stage 1 basal cell carcinoma: This means the cancer has grown a bit deeper into the skin, but hasn't spread to other parts of the body. It's still considered early and can often be treated successfully. Treatment may involve removing the cancer through surgery or other methods.Stage 2 ...
Since stage 1 mesothelioma means the cancer has only just started to form, patients have the best prognosis and are usually good candidates for various types of treatment. Stage 1 mesothelioma can usually be treated with: Chemotherapy Radiation ...

The 13 EV protein biomarkers identified here span a wide range of biological functions that may represent pivotal points in cancer development. Neuropilin-1 and CA15-3 mediate aberrant growth factor signaling in early malignancies41,42. CA 19-9, MPO, and TIMP-1, known cancer drivers, were prev...
cancer, but no interaction terms were individually significant (and thus this interaction is also counted above). The effect of using life tables from 2009 was estimated to increase the reported survival by approximately 0.2% compared with an estimate of what would have resulted from using 2012 ...
Prospective identification of robust biomarkers related to prognosis and adjuvant chemotherapy has become a necessary and critical step to predict the benefits of adjuvant therapy for patients with stage II–III colorectal cancer (CRC) before clinical treatment. We proposed a single-cell-based prognostic...
Mesothelioma has 4 stages. 1: Tumor is localized. 2: Cancer spreads to nearby organs. 3: Cancer can spread to lymph nodes. 4: Cancer has spread distantly.
