Revised staging system for primary nodal lymphomas (Lugano classification)

Stage	Involvement	Extranodal 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 tomography/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.
