Detailed explanation-1: -This describes cancers that have spread widely throughout the lung, to the other lung, to lymph nodes on the other side of the chest, or to other parts of the body (including the bone marrow). Many doctors consider SCLC that has spread to the fluid around the lung to be extensive stage as well.
Detailed explanation-2: -Stage I: The cancer is in the lungs and has not spread. Stage II: The cancer is in the lungs and has started to spread to nearby lymph nodes. Stage III (locally advanced disease): The cancer is in the lungs and lymph nodes in the chest.
Detailed explanation-3: -Extensive stage Advanced small cell lung cancer may also be referred to as extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. In this stage, the cancer has spread to other parts of the body such as the other lung, the bone and/or bone marrow, the brain or the fluid around the lungs.
Detailed explanation-4: -Stage 3A lung cancer: One side of the body Stage 3A lung cancer is considered locally advanced. This means the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes on the same side of the chest as the primary lung tumor. But it has not traveled to distant areas in the body.
