Lymphoma: About this Condition
 

Stages of Lymphoma

Diagnostic tests can show what stage of lymphoma you have, which can affect what treatment is effective.

There are 4 stages of non-lymphoma:

  • Stage I: The lymphoma is limited to one lymph node region or to a single body organ
  • Stage II: The lymphoma is in 2 lymph node regions (both neck and armpit, or both sides of the groin) or in one organ and surrounding lymph nodes
  • Stage III: The lymphoma has been found above and below your diaphragm (the muscle you use to breathe) or may be in your spleen (next to your stomach)
  • Stage IV: The lymphoma has spread to lymph nodes and organs in multiple areas of the body such as the liver, lungs, or bones
