Staging and grading
Stage 0 NSCLC: Doctors may detect abnormal cells in the lining of your air passages. These may turn cancerous and affect normal tissue nearby, but they haven’t spread throughout other parts of the body.
Stage 1A: The cancer affects the lung only, with a tumor that measures 3 cm or smaller and hasn’t spread to lymph nodes or other areas.
Stage 2A: The cancer has reached the main bronchus (a large airway connecting the trachea to the lung), but not the carina. The cancer has reached the innermost tissue that wraps around the lung.
Stage 3A: The tumor is larger than 5 cm but smaller than 7 cm. The lung cancer tumor has reached the wall of the chest, the inner lining of the chest wall, the diaphragm or the nerve that controls the diaphragm, among other places.
