stage III
Cancer has spread
Stage III is a classification in cancer staging indicating the disease has spread significantly within the body but hasn't yet reached distant organs.
It typically means the tumor has grown larger and cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes or tissues: She was diagnosed with stage III breast cancer.
The Roman numeral styling is standard in medical contexts.
Stage III often represents a critical point where treatment becomes more aggressive.
