Prostate cancer stage
| Stage I | The tumor is small and only in the prostate |
| Stage II | The tumor is larger and may be in both lobes of the prostate but is still confined to the prostate |
| Stage III | The tumor has spread beyond the prostate to close by lymph glands or seminal vesicles |
| Stage IV | The tumor has spread to other organs such as the bone and is referred to as metastatic cancer. If prostate cancer spreads, or metastasizes, to the bone, one gets prostate cancer cells in the bone |
