Stage II breast cancer has tumors which are 2 to 5 cm in size and have spread, if at all, only to the nearby armpit lymph nodes. Stage 0 cancers are not invading normal tissue or spreading to the lymph nodes. Stage I - III cancers increase in size and spread. Stage IV cancers have invaded other organs of the body.
