the condition. Breast cancer is staged according
to the characteristics of the cells and extent of proliferation.
Stage 0 or carcinoma
in situ is still categorized as at risk for breast cancer
without the presence of the disease itself. Lobular carcinoma
in situ or LCIS define the abnormal cells lining in a breast
gland. Ductal carcinoma in situ or DCIS define the abnormal
cells lining in a breast duct.
Stage I is defined as breast cancer
in its early stages wherein the tumor measures
less than 2 centimeters across and has not yet spread.
Stage II is also breast cancer
in its early stage wherein the tumor measures 2 to 5 centimeters;
or greater than 5 centimeters without spread; or less than
2 centimeters but has spread to underarm lymph nodes.
Stage III
is locally advanced breast cancer wherein the
tumor is measures more than 5 centimeters across and has
spread to underarm lymph nodes; has spread extensively to
underarm lymph nodes; or has spread to remote lymph nodes
in the collar bone or breastbone.
Stage IV is metastasis breast
cancer wherein the cancer has spread to other
areas of the body outside the breast.
Treatment will depend
according to the characteristics and classification of breast
cancer. There are a variety of treatments available
like chemotherapy, surgery and homeopathy. Breast lesions
are observed to modify treatment as ER-positive for hormonal
