Brief Answer:
Number of groups is important than location and siz

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome to XXXXXXX

For SLL/CLL, two classifications are used for staging of cancer.
1. Binet Staging.

Stage A:
Fewer than three areas of enlarged lymphoid tissue (lymphnodes)

Stage B:
Three or more areas of enlarged lymphoid tissue

Stage C:
No lymphnode enlaregement but with anemia and decreased platelets.

Prognosis is better for Stage A than Stage C.

2. XXXXXXX classification
XXXXXXX stage 0 :
Low risk
Lymphocytosis : A high lymphocyte count defined as more than 15,000 lymphocytes per cubic millimeter (> 15,000 / mm3).
XXXXXXX stage I :
Intermediate risk
lymphocytosis + lymphadenopathy ( enlarged lymph nodes).
XXXXXXX stage II :
Patients are also intermediate risk
Lymphocytosis plus an enlarged liver (hepatomegaly) or enlarged spleen (splenomegaly), with or without lymphadenopathy (enlarged lymphnode).
XXXXXXX stage III :
Patients are high-risk
Lymphocytosis plus anaemia with or without lymphadenopathy, hepatomegaly, or splenomegaly.
XXXXXXX stage IV :
High-risk
Lymphocytosis + thrombocytopenia (< 100 - 103 /dL).

Lymphadenopathy -in the neck, axillary, inguinal as well as the splenic involvement, are each considered as "one group," whether unilateral (one-sided) or bilateral (on both sides).
Number of group involvement is more important than location of involvement in CLL/SLL.
Thus in SLL/CLL anemia, platelet count, lymphocyte count are also important in establishing the prognosis of the disease.

Hope this helps.
