• #1 Stages of Lymphoma | MyLymphomaTeam

  https://www.mylymphomateam.com/resources/stages-of-lymphoma

  Lymphoma is a type of cancer that affects the lymphatic system, which is part of the body’s immune system. Lymphoma is grouped into two main types: Hodgkin lymphoma (previously called Hodgkins disease) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Both types are divided into stages, from stage 1 to stage 4, based on how much the cancer has spread. Stage 1 means the cancer is in its early stages, while stage 4 means it is more advanced. […] Staging is an important part of diagnosing lymphoma, as it helps doctors determine the extent of the disease and guide treatment decisions. […] Stage 1 is localized. Lymphoma cells are found in just one lymph node region or in one organ outside the lymphatic system. […] Stage 2 is slightly more widespread, affecting two or more lymph nodes on the same side of the diaphragm. Lymphomas can also be defined as stage 2 when cancer cells are found in a lymph node and a nearby organ on the same side of the diaphragm.

  In stage 3, cancerous cells are found on both sides of the diaphragm. Lymphoma cells may be present in the spleen or an organ outside the lymphatic system. […] Stage 4 indicates that cancer cells have spread throughout the body. At this stage, lymphoma cells have spread to organs outside the lymphatic system. […] The presence of B symptoms in people with Hodgkin lymphoma can influence treatment in early stages. Although B symptoms can be present in non-Hodgkin lymphoma, they don’t guide NHL treatment decisions. […] Lymphoma stage influences prognosis (outlook). Generally, earlier-stage disease has a better prognosis than later-stage disease. However, disease stage isn’t the only factor influencing prognosis. In the case of Hodgkin lymphoma, age, sex, blood cell counts, and other blood features also affect prognosis.

  Lymphoma that spreads to other organs in the body is known as stage 4 lymphoma. The cancer may spread to the liver, lungs, and bone marrow. As it progresses, it can damage these organs. When that happens, they may no longer function properly to keep you healthy. […] In severe cases of thrombocytopenia, you may not have enough platelets to stop internal bleeding, such as bleeding in the gut, which can lead to death. Additionally, while rare, thrombocytopenia can lead to bleeding in the brain, which can cause a stroke. […] Lymphoma often becomes terminal at stage 4. During this stage, it has spread to further areas of the body, such as the liver, lungs, or bone marrow. This is considered the most advanced form of lymphoma and can lead to complications that can turn fatal, including serious infections and liver damage.

[…] The staging is the same for both Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphomas. […] After Hodgkin lymphoma is diagnosed, a person will be staged by undergoing a series of tests and procedures that will determine what areas of the body are affected. […] The absence of systemic symptoms is signified by adding „A” to the stage; the presence of systemic symptoms is signified by adding „B” to the stage. […] The five-year FFP for people with zero factors is 84%. Each additional factor lowers the five-year FFP rate by 7%, such that the five-year FFP for a person with five or more factors is 42%.

[…] You should see your doctor if you have a swollen lymph node, especially if you haven’t had a recent infection or you have any of the other symptoms mentioned here. […] Although your symptoms are unlikely to be cancer, it’s important to get them checked by a doctor.
