Stage 1: tumor < 2 cm (about 1 inch)
has not spread outside of the breast
Stage 11A: < 2cm and in lymph nodes OR
2-5cm but not in lymph nodes

In 1 and 11 lymph nodes refers to axillary lymph nodes only (those in armpit)
Stage 111A:<5 cm in lymph nodes and they are attached to each other (the nodes) or to surrounding structure
111B: above plus has spread to tissue
