  Stage I 
   Cancer is found in the prostate only. It cannot be felt during a digital rectal exam and is not visible with imaging.



• Stage II
  Cancer is more advance, but hasn't spread outside the prostate.



• Stage III
  Cancer has spread outside the prostate to nearby tissues, and possibly to the seminal vesicles.



• Stage IV
  Cancer has spread to lymph nodes, and possibly to other parts of the body, including the pelvic bone and bladder.

Choosing the Treatment That's Right for You
