Stage 0 (Carcinoma in Situ)
Abnormal cells are present in the lining of the lung. Prognosis is high, with a 5-year survival rate of about 70% to 90%.
Stage I
Cancer is localized within the lung and usually smaller than 4 cm. Prognosis varies but 5-year survival rate ranges from about 45% to 49% for IA and 30% to 35% for IB.
Stage IA
Tumor is less than 3 cm, has not spread to lymph nodes and does not involve major bronchi. Prognosis: 5-year survival rate is 68% to 92%.
Stage IIIB
Cancer has spread to lymph nodes above the collarbone or has invaded other organs such as the heart or trachea. Prognosis: 5-year survival rate is about 9% to 10%.
Stage IIIA
Cancer has spread further to lymph nodes and may also affect other structures like the chest wall or diaphragm. Prognosis: 5-year survival rate varies between 14% to 24%.
Recurrent Lung Cancer
Cancer has returned after treatment. Prognosis depends on where the cancer recurs and what treatments are available.
Stage II
Cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes or chest wall. Prognosis: 5-year survival rate is approximately 30% for IIA and 30% to 31% for IIB.
Stage IV
Cancer has spread (metastasized) to distant organs such as bones, liver, or brain. Prognosis: 5-year survival rate is around 1% to 5%, depending on sub-stage IVa or IVb.
