Blood Cancer Stages BMTnext

Blood cancer primarily includes leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma, affecting blood cell production and function. Each type has specific staging systems that indicate progression and survival rates, with leukemia having a five-year survival rate of about 66.7%, Hodgkin lymphoma at 88.9%, and multiple myeloma at 59.8%. Staging for leukemia and myeloma is based on symptoms and biological markers, while lymphoma stages indicate the extent of spread in the body.

Understanding Blood Cancer

Blood cancers affect the production and function of


blood cells. The three primary types are
Leukemia: Affects white blood cells in the bone
marrow.
Lymphoma: Originates in the lymphatic system.

Myeloma: Targets plasma cells in the bone marrow.


Leukemia Staging
Leukemia is typically classified by type and
progression:
Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL):
Staged using the Rai system:
Stage 0: High lymphocyte count.
Stages I-IV: Progressive anemia,
thrombocytopenia, and organ
enlargement.
Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML): Phases
include:
Chronic: Mild symptoms.
Accelerated: Increased symptoms.
Blast: Severe symptoms.
The overall five-year survival rate for leukemia is
approximately 66.7%.
Lymphoma Staging

Lymphoma stages (I-IV) indicate the extent of spread:


Stage I: Single lymph node region.
Stage II: Multiple regions on the same side of the
diaphragm.
Stage III: Regions on both sides of the diaphragm.
Stage IV: Widespread involvement, including organs.
Five-year survival rates:
Hodgkin Lymphoma: Approximately 88.9%.
Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma: Approximately 74.3%.
Myeloma Staging

Multiple Myeloma is staged I-III based on


factors like beta-2 microglobulin and
albumin levels:
Stage I: Low levels, better prognosis.
Stage II: Intermediate levels.
Stage III: High levels, more advanced
disease.
The five-year survival rate for multiple myeloma is
approximately 59.8%.
