Overview

According to the Rai Staging System, there are five stages of chronic lymphocytic leukemia based on the degree of lymphocytosis, hemoglobin level, platelet level, presence of splenomegaly, and presence of lymphadenopathy. According to the Binet Staging System, there are three stages of chronic lymphocytic leukemia based on the degree of lymphocytosis, the presence of anemia or thrombocytopenia, and the involvement of three or more lymphoid regions. The tumor stage is considered one of the important factors that determine the optimal management protocol of chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients.

Staging System

Rai Staging System:

According to the Rai Staging System, there are five stages of chronic lymphocytic leukemia based on the degree of lymphocytosis, hemoglobin level, platelets level, presence of splenomegaly, and presence of lymphadenopathy.[1][2][3][4]

Stage Hemoglobin Level Platelets Level Lymphocytosis Splenomegaly Lymphadenopathy Median Survival

Stage 0

>11 g/dL

>100,000/L

The staging is further modified into 3 groups:[5]

  • Low Risk: Stage 0
  • Intermediate Risk: Stages 1 and 2 combined
  • High Risk: Stage 3 and 4 combined

Binet Staging System

According to the Binet Staging System, there are three stages of chronic lymphocytic leukemia based on the degree of lymphocytosis, the presence of anemia or thrombocytopenia, and the involvement of three or more lymphoid regions: cervical, axillary and inguinal lymph nodes, and spleen and liver.[6][7][8][9]

Stage Lymphocytosis Anemia or Thrombocytopenia Lymphadenopathy Median Survival

Stage A

Present

Absent

2 or less lymphoid regions

Almost normal age and sex adjusted survival rate

Stage B

>3 lymphoid regions

7 years

Stage C

>3 lymphoid regions

2 years
