Stage 2 cancer indicates that the disease has grown but is still localized. It often means the tumor is larger than in Stage 1 and may have spread to nearby lymph nodes. However, it has not yet metastasized to distant organs. Treatment options for Stage 2 cancer typically include surgery to remove the tumor, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy to target any remaining cancer cells. The prognosis can vary based on the type of cancer and how well it responds to treatment, but early detection generally improves outcomes.
