The breast cancer stage indicates the size of the tumor of abnormal cells. The doctor determines the treatment on the basis of your breast cancer stage.

In the case, you have recently diagnosed,  the doctor will examine the reports for checking the accurate diagnosis and staging information. The stage of breast cancer is most important for the treatment. In this article, we have explained the details of stage 1 of breast cancer.

Stage 1 breast cancer:

Breast cancer is the first stage of invasive or severe breast cancer. The size of the tumor is up to 2 cm in stage 1. There is no involvement of lymph nodes in this stage. In stage 1, the cancer cells get spread out from the original location and can move to the surrounding breast tissues.

Since stage 1 tumor is quite small, therefore it is difficult to detect. Stage 1 breast cancer is itself then divided into two categories.

Stage 1A: In this stage, the size of the tumor is 2 cm and even smaller, like the size of a pea or peanut. The cancer cells have not spread outside the breast in this stage.

Stage 1B: The cluster of cancer cells with a size of no more than 2 mm are present in lymph nodes, and either there would be no tumor inside the breast or the tumor would be small, with a size of less than 2cm.

Stage 1 is highly treatable if diagnosed properly.
