What is stage I of cervical cancer?
Stage 0Also called carcinoma in situ, stage 0 means that cancerous cells that have not invaded deeper tissues. The cells are superficial and are only found on the surface.Stage IIn stage I, cancerous cells have invaded the cervix, and cells are no longer just at the surface. Cancer is still confined to the cervix and has not spread.* Stage IA: This is the earliest form of stage I cervical cancer. The cancer can only be identified under microscopic examination. *** Stage IA1: The invasion area is less than 3mm(1/8 inch) deep and less than 7mm (1/4 inch) wide.** Stage IA2: The invasion area is between 3 mm and 5 mm (about 1/5 inch) deep and less than 7 mm (about 1/4 inch) wide.* Stage IB: This stage indicated that cancer can be seen without a microscope. It also include cancers that have invaded the connective tissue of the cervix, deeper than 5mm (1/5 inch).** Stage IB1: Cancer is no more than 4 centimeters large (1 3/4 inches).** Stage IB2: Cancer is larger than 4 centimeters (1 3/4 inches) *Stage IIIn stage II, the cancer has spread to nearby tissues, but is still contained within the pelvic area.* Stage IIA: Cancer has spread to the upper part of the vagina. The lower third of the vagina has not been affected.* Stage IIB: In this stage, cancer has spread to tissue near the cervix. This tissue is called parametrial tissue. *Stage IIIThis stage indicates that cancer has spread to the lower portion of the vagina. It could have also spread to the pelvic wall in this stage.* Stage IIIA: Cancer has spread to the lower part of the vagina and is contained in that area.* Stage IIIB: Cancer has spread to the pelvic wall. This also includes cancer that blocks the flow of urine to the bladder. *Stage IVIn stage IV, the cancer has spread to other areas of the body. This is the most advanced stage of cervical cancer.* Stage IVA: This stage includes cancer that has spread to areas close to the cervix, such as the bladder or rectum.* Stage IVB: Stage IVB cervical cancer is not considered curable. In this stage, cancer has spread to distant areas of the body, like the lungs.
Is it dangerous to have stage 1 cancer?

Is it possible for your child to get ovarian cancer if you have it?
Ovarian cancer is NOT contagious to the fetus directly. Meaning if you have ovarian cancer during pregnancy (which is extremely rare), these cancerous cells have no way of coming in contact with the developing fetus. All the cells from which your daughter will be derived will be from the single celled zygote formed from the union of egg and sperm. Ovarian cancers in children are extremely rare and are quite distinct from adult ovarian caners. The direct causes of ovarian cancer still remain unknown however. It is believed it has to do with the continual tissue-repair process that follows the monthly release of an egg through a tiny tear in an ovarian follicle (ovulation) throughout a woman's reproductive years. The formation and division of new cells at the rupture site may set up a situation in which genetic errors occur. Others propose that the increased hormone levels before and during ovulation may stimulate the growth of abnormal cells. The most significant risk factor for ovarian cancer is having an inherited mutation in one of two genes called breast cancer gene 1 (BRCA1) and breast cancer gene 2 (BRCA2). These genes were originally identified in families with multiple cases of breast cancer but they're also responsible for about 5 percent to 10 percent of ovarian cancers. Another known genetic link involves an inherited syndrome called hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC). Individuals in HNPCC families are at increased risk of cancers of the uterine lining (endometrium), colon, ovary, stomach and small intestine. Sometimes, ovarian cancer occurs in more than one family member but isn't the result of any known inherited gene alteration. Having a family history of ovarian cancer increases your risk of the disease, but not to the same degree as does having an inherited genetic defect. If you have one first-degree relative
Is chemotherapy is the last stage of cancer?
Absolutely not. Chemotherapy is usually the first stage of treatment depending on the stage of the cancer. Tumor type cancers are "staged" 1 being the least advanced, 4 being the most advanced.
