Some cancers are treated with only chemotherapy like leukaemia or lymphoma. Some breast cancers like triple negative need chemotherapy even at early stage. Some sarcomas are not sensitive to chemotherapy, hence not given even in advanced stage.

No that is not how the staging goes. Stage depends on extent of tumor involvement
