Diagram Colon Cancer Stages

The most common staging system for colorectal cancer is the TNM system. For colorectal cancer there are 5 stages – stage 0 followed by stages 1 to 4. Often the stages 1 to 4 are written as the Roman numerals I, II, III and IV. Generally, the higher the stage number, the more the cancer has spread.

Stage 1 – The cancer has grown into the submucosa or muscle, but has not spread to the lymph nodes or elsewhere (T1 N0 M0 or T2 N0 M0). Stage 2 – The cancer has grown through the muscle wall or through the outer layer of the bowel and may be growing into tissues nearby.
