In stage II, cancer is found in two or more lymph node groups on the same side of the diaphragm (the thin muscle below the lungs and heart that separates the chest from the abdomen). In stage IIE, cancer is found in two or more lymph node groups on the same side of the diaphragm and has spread from one of those lymph nodes to a nearby organ or tissue that is not part of the lymph system. |
