Dutch term (edited): uitgebreide klierlokalisaties

'klierlokalisatie' is een wat vreemd taalgebruik.

Met 'klierlokalisatie' wordt uitzaaiing naar een klier of klieren bedoeld.
Het betekent dat de kanker in die klier/klieren is gelokaliseerd.

Bv:

Een extranodale lokalisatie in een long kan voorkomen zonder klierlokalisaties (stadium lE); het betreft dan nogal eens lymfomen van lage maligniteitsgraad.

'zonder klierlokalisaties' betekent hier zonder dat de lymfeklieren zijn aangetast. Zonder dat de kanker zich in de klieren bevindt, is uitgezaaid naar de klieren

'uitgebreide klierlokalisaties' betekent dan dat de kanker zich heeft verspreid naar talrijke/een groot aantal lymfeklieren


Staging[edit]

The staging is the same for both Hodgkin's as well as non-Hodgkin's lymphomas.

After Hodgkin lymphoma is diagnosed, a patient will be staged: that is, they will undergo a series of tests and procedures that will determine what areas of the body are affected. These procedures may include documentation of their histology, a physical examination, blood tests, chest X-ray radiographs, computed tomography (CT)/Positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the chest, abdomen and pelvis, and usually a bone marrow biopsy. Positron emission tomography (PET) scan is now used instead of the gallium scan for staging. On the PET scan, sites involved with lymphoma light up very brightly enabling accurate and reproducible imaging.[15] In the past, a lymphangiogram or surgical laparotomy (which involves opening the abdominal cavity and visually inspecting for tumors) were performed. Lymphangiograms or laparotomies are very rarely performed, having been supplanted by improvements in imaging with the CT scan and PET scan.

On the basis of this staging, the patient will be classified according to a staging classification (the Ann Arbor staging classification scheme is a common one):
Stage I is involvement of a single lymph node region (I) (mostly the cervical region) or single extralymphatic site (Ie);
Stage II is involvement of two or more lymph node regions on the same side of the diaphragm (II) or of one lymph node region and a contiguous extralymphatic site (IIe);
Stage III is involvement of lymph node regions on both sides of the diaphragm, which may include the spleen (IIIs) and/or limited contiguous extralymphatic organ or site (IIIe, IIIes);
Stage IV is disseminated involvement of one or more extralymphatic organs.
