Stages Range from 0-4

The stages range from 0 to 4. Stage 0 is called carcinoma in situ, which means cancerous cells are found on the surface of the endometrium. Stage 1 means abnormal cells have grown into the endometrium and possibly into the myometrium, which is the muscular wall of the uterus. Stage 2 means the cancer has invaded the cervix. Stage 3 indicates the cancer has invaded nearby tissue including the vagina and lymph nodes. Stage 4 means metastasis to the bladder, intestines and possibly other parts of the body such as liver, bones and lungs.
