You can also refer to the American Cancer Society's website for information about how the cancer is staged, click here. As Alysia said above, only your oncologist can tell you about your specific stage of cancer, after performing diagnostic testing.
However, the link above can explain the types of stages, and the severity and 5-year survival rates, of each stage, in which you (or your family member that you are inquiring for) can use for an in-depth discussion with the doctor.
What information do you have currently, and is this question for you, or someone else?
