Lymphoma stage is used to describe where the lymphoma is located in the body, how many lymph nodes are affected, and whether it has spread to other lymph nodes or other tissues. Determining the stage of the disease can help doctors decide on treatment. In simple terms, lymphoma can be divided into the following stages:
- Stage 1: a group of lymph nodes is affected
- Stage II: Two or more groups of lymph nodes are affected, only on the left or right side of the diaphragm.
- Stage III: Lymphoma is found on both sides of the diaphragm.
- Stage 4: The disease has spread beyond the lymph nodes, such as to the liver, lungs or bones.
Doctors will also number each step with the English letter A or B to indicate whether you have symptoms.
- A: This means there are no symptoms
- B: Indicates symptoms such as fever, sweating, or unexplained weight loss.
- E: Indicates that lymphoma can occur outside of the lymphatic system, such as the stomach.
Once doctors know the location of the lymphoma in the patient’s body, the symptoms and the shape of the lymphoma under the microscope, they can plan the most effective treatment for the patient.
