The biopsy helps determine the stage of Cervical Cancer, which tells us if the tumor has invaded other areas and are classified as follows:
Stage 0. The cancer is found only in the uppermost layer of cells in the tissue that defines the cervix. It is also called carcinoma in situ.
Stage I. Cancer invades the cervix only.
Stage II. Cancer extends into the cervix and nearby tissues such as the vagina.
Stage III. Cancer extends to the bottom of the vagina, may also spread to the pelvic wall and lymph node
Stage IV. Cancer invades the bladder, rectum and other body parts.
Recurrent. Cancer is one that has been treated but continues to grow, may appear in the cervix or elsewhere in the body.
