Cancer staging is a system doctors and researchers use to group similar cancers, which makes it easier to communicate about and study them. Size and other information are combined to give a number: I, II, III or IV. Grouping cancers this way lets us predict how the cancers might act in the body, and helps researchers when they are trying to discover new treatments. When a cancer is described as stage IV, that sometimes means it is not considered curable. In the case of oral cavity cancer, not all stage IV cancers are incurable.
