From: Diagnostic dilemma of Hodgkin’s lymphoma versus tuberculosis: a case report and review of the literature

Lugano staging classification

Definition

5-year net cancer survival rate (%)

I

I-Single lymph node or one group of lymph nodes or one lymphatic organ affected

IE-one extra-nodal site in the absence of lymph-node involvement

90

II

II-Two or more groups of lymph nodes affected on the same side of diaphragam

IIE-Contiguous extra nodal extension from a nodal site with or without other groups of lymph nodes on the same side of diaphragm (IIE)

90

III

Lymph nodes are affected on the same side of the diaphragam

III (1)-spleen/splenic nodes involved

III (2)-para-aortic, iliac, inguinal or mesenteric nodes involved

80

IV

Diffuse or disseminated disease with one or more extranodal sites affected including liver, lungs, bone OR extra-nodal organs affected without associated lymph node involvement

70

  1. Limited disease (Lugano Stage I and II) has the greatest prognosis and cure rates with 90% 5-year survival, whilst advanced disease (Lugano Stage III and IV) has poorer prognosis, with 5-year survival at 70–80% [3, 22, 26,27,28]
