Cancer is locally invasive.

<h3>What are the stages of cancer?</h3>

Stages of cancer are defined as follows:

stage 1 refers to cancer that is restricted to the organ of origin
stage 2 refers to cancer that is locally invasive
stage 3 refers to cancer that has spread to nearby structures, such as lymph nodes
stage 4 refers to cancer that has spread to distant sites, such as liver cancer that has spread to the lung or prostate cancer that has spread to bone.
