  • Stage 0: very small tumor that affects only the most superficial layer of mucous
  • Stage I: tumor that is strictly limited to the cervix
  • Stage II: tumor grows beyond the area of the cervix, but not to enter into the vagina and not to the pelvic bone
  • Stage III: The spread of cancer to the pelvic bone and / or to the upper third of the vagina with or without clamping of the ureter lying adjacent to, the latter leads to urinary obstruction, and injury to the kidney
  • Stage IV: Tumor growth in addition to the mucosa of the bladder and / or rectum and / or tumor growth beyond the area of the basin
