Stage 3 breast cancer has one or more of the following features- May be large (typically bigger than 5 cm), May have spread to several lymph nodes in the underarm area (axillary nodes), or other areas near the breast, and May have spread to other tissues around the breast such as skin, muscle or ribs.
