Burkitt lymphoma staging

Burkitt lymphoma staging assesses how advanced the disease is in the body. It usually follows the Ann Arbor system, which has four stages: - **Stage I**: The cancer is in one lymph node region. - **Stage II**: It’s in two or more lymph node regions on one side of the diaphragm. - **Stage III**: It’s spread to lymph nodes on both sides of the diaphragm. - **Stage IV**: The cancer has spread to other organs, such as the bone marrow or liver. Understanding the stage helps doctors determine the best treatment options and predict outcomes.
