Lymphoma staging includes investigation leading to disclosing of snes of disease and overall disease investigations of other prognostic factors and also of factors influencing the risk of therapy (age, comorbidity). Sites of disease are evaluated predominantly by non-invasive methods. Most of the accepted prognostic factors consist of simple and easily available clinical and laboratory parameters. The main task of prognostic systems is to separate patients with a poor prognosis after conventional treatment, who might benefit from dose-intensive or experimental therapies. The examples of prognostic systems in the three most common lymphhmms - Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL), diffizse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and follicular lymphoma are shown.
Key words: lymphoma - staging - imaging methods - laboratory investigations - prognostic
