The extent the cancer has spread.
Early or Local: The cancer is located in the organ in which it started or it has spread to local lymph nodes. It has not spread to distant sites. For example, early breast cancer or Dukes B and Dukes C colorectal cancer.
Locally advanced: The cancer may be larger in size and may have spread to local lymph nodes. For example, locally advanced pancreatic cancer or locally advanced lung cancer.
Locally recurrent: The cancer has recurred at the same site of the primary cancer. For example, locally recurrent breast cancer or locally recurrent rectal cancer.
Metastatic/Widespread: The cancer has spread to other organs distant from the site the cancer started. For example, breast cancer that has metastasized to bone, lung or liver.
Not applicable: The clinical trial is a prevention trial or other trial where cancer stage is not relevant.

Phase of investigation, usually applied to a drug trial.
Phase 1: the first tests of a treatment in humans that aim to test safety and the best drug dose.
Phase 2: aim to see how well the new treatment works against cancer and to monitor for side effects.
Phase 3: aim to test if the new treatment (the intervention treatment) is better than the current best standard treatment.
Phase 4: aim to assess any long-term side effects of a new treatment and occur after a drug has been licensed for use and put on the market.
Note that not all ANZCTR trials complete this field as it is not compulsory.
