There are four stages of cancer.

"For most cancers, the stage is a Roman numeral from I (1) to IV (4). Stage I cancers are less advanced and often have a better prognosis (outlook). Higher stage cancers typically have spread farther (or have other concerning features), so they might require more intense (or different kinds of) treatment. Sometimes stages are subdivided as well, using capital letters (for example, stage III might be subdivided into stages IIIA and IIIB)."
