The FIGO staging system are determined by the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (Fédération Internationale de Gynécologie et d’Obstétrique).

In general, there are 5 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)
