Which characteristic corresponds with Stage 3 of breast cancer?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stage 3 breast cancer is characterized by more extensive involvement of the breast and nearby lymph nodes. At this stage, the cancer has not spread to distant parts of the body (which would be considered stage 4), but it is considered advanced because it has begun to invade more lymph nodes and possibly other nearby tissue. This stage is further divided into subcategories (Stage 3A, 3B, and 3C) based on the size of the tumor and the extent to which lymph nodes are affected. Treatment at this stage typically involves a combination of surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and/or targeted therapy.
