Best Answer

Stage IV is dependant upon how far from the primary site the cancer was found. Since it is melanoma, it harder to find the primary site, since this cancer affects skin cells. Stage 0 Carcinoma in situ (early cancer that is present only in the layer of cells in which it began). Stage I, Stage II, and Stage III Higher numbers indicate more extensive disease: greater tumor size, and/or spread of the cancer to nearby lymph nodes and/or organs adjacent to the primary tumor. Stage IV The cancer has spread to another organ
