If a tumor is no larger than 2 cm, it has not spread outside the breast and is considered stage I. Stage IIA cancers are between 2 and 5 cm but do not involve metastasis to either the lymph nodes or distant sites. If a tumor is smaller than 5 cm and has spread to axillary and other lymph nodes, it is considered stage IIIA.
