The FIGO staging systems are determined by the International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics (Fédération Internationale de Gynécologie et d’Obstétrique).
In general, there are five stages:
-
stage 0: carcinoma in situ (common in cervical, vaginal, and vulval cancer)
-
stage I: confined to the organ of origin
-
stage II: invasion of surrounding organs or tissue
-
stage III: spread to distant nodes or tissue within the pelvis
-
stage IV: distant metastasis(es)
