According to Cancer Research United Kingdom, leukemia stage lChronic imfotic or chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) has 3 stages. This stage of leukemia stage was determined using the Binet method through analysis of laboratory test results.

The purpose of knowing the stages of chronic lymphocytic leukemia is to determine the treatment or medical treatment you need.

- Stage B. Lymph node enlargement in more than three groups / locations and high white blood cell counts.
- Stage C. An enlarged lymph node or spleen occurs in a part of the body, a high white blood cell count, and a low number of red blood cells or platelets.
At each stage, a group of lymph nodes are interpreted as lymph nodes in one area of the body, for example in the neck, armpit or groin. Each area is counted as one group even if the lymph nodes on both sides of the body swell. At each stage, leukemia has its own symptoms.
