Cancer stage is rooted in the size of the tumor, whether the cancer is invasive or non-invasive, whether lymph nodes are involved, and also whether it has extended outside the breast.
Stage 2 breast cancer denotes one of the following: cancer is no larger than 2 centimeters but has extended to the lymph nodes in the armpit (the axillary lymph nodes); it is between 2 and 5 centimeters (from 1 to 2 inches) and might have extended to the lymph nodes in the armpit; cancer is larger than 5 centimeters (larger than 2 inches) but has not extended to the lymph nodes in the armpit.
