Stages of Prostate Cancer. With regard to prostate cancer, staging measures the extent of the disease, and is based on the size of the tumor, whether the cancer has spread outside the prostate, and, if so, where it has spread. There are five stages: stages 1 through 4 and recurrent cancer. Tests used to determine stage include the digital rectal exam, PSA test, transrectal ultrasound, and biopsy. Stages of Prostate Cancer: An Overview
1 Stages 1 and 2 describe cancers in which the tumor is still in the kidney. Stage 2 means that the tumor is growing and is larger than seven centimeters across. 2  Stages 3 and 4 mean the cancer has spread either into a major vein, to lymph nodes, or to other organs.  Stage 4 is the most advanced form of the disease. Stage 4 means that the cancer has metastasized to the lymph system or other organs. Because the adrenal gland is attached to the kidney, the cancer often spreads there first.
