Revised staging system for primary nodal lymphomas (Lugano classification)

Revised staging system for primary nodal lymphomas (Lugano classification)
Stage Involvement Extranodal (E) status
Limited
I One node or a group of adjacent nodes Single extranodal lesions without nodal involvement
II Two or more nodal groups on the same side of the diaphragm Stage I or II by nodal extent with limited contiguous extranodal involvement
II bulky* II as above with "bulky" disease Not applicable
Advanced
III Nodes on both sides of the diaphragm; nodes above the diaphragm with spleen involvement Not applicable
IV Additional noncontiguous extralymphatic involvement Not applicable
Extent of disease is determined by positron emission tomograph/computed tomography (PET/CT) for avid lymphomas and CT for nonavid histologies. Tonsils, Waldeyer's ring, and spleen are considered nodal tissue.
* Whether stage II bulky disease is treated as limited or advanced disease may be determined by histology and a number of prognostic factors.
