Cancer staging is a method that determines the extent of cancer development and spread.

The current practice is to divide a cancer into the first to fifth stages in numbers. The first stage refers to the ability to isolate cancer cells. The fifth stage represents that the cancer cells have spread to the limit of the measurement method. Cancer staging generally considers the size of the tumor, whether it has invaded adjacent organs, how many cancer cells have spread to nearby lymph nodes (if it has begun to spread to the lymph nodes), and whether it appears in distant sites (distal metastases ).
