What is stage 3 lung cancer?

Lung cancer is a kind of cancer that starts in one’s lungs. Stage 3 lung cancer is fathomed as when it has started to spread beyond the lung. The stages are used to help medical doctors describe where the cancer is and how it likely is in order to have the specific treatments.

Stage 3 lung cancer is when the cancer starts spreading to other tissue

As per WebMD, stage 3 cancer is only in one lung for most cases. It is also limited to the organs, lymph nodes as well as other things near the organ. Hence, cancer has not metastasized farther than that.

The next stage, stage 4, is the most serious and the last stage of cancer.
