===Staging===
A staging system is used for lymphoma (Owen, 1980):
* Stage I - Involvement limited to a single node or lymphoid tissue in a single organ (excluding bone marrow)
* Stage II - Involvement of many lymph nodes in a regional area (+/- tonsils)
* Stage III - Generalised lymph node involvement
* Stage IV - Liver and/or spleen involvement (+ stage III)
* Stage V - Manifestations in the blood and involvement of bone marrow and/or other organ systems (+/-stages I-IV)
Each stage is then subclassifed as a) without systemic signs or b) with systemic signs.
