stage 3

Late disease phase

Stage 3 designates the third phase in a sequential progression, typically indicating advancement or escalation.

In medical contexts, particularly cancer staging, stage 3 means the disease has spread significantly but hasn't reached distant organs: The tumor was stage 3, requiring aggressive treatment.

The phrase appears in any numbered system tracking development or severity: stage 3 sleep, stage 3 restrictions.
