Notes: 
1) Favorable disease for Magrath regimen is stage I or stage IIR AND normal LDH. 
2) > 25% bone marrow involvement is defined as L3 ALL and is not included in this staging system. 
Stage I: Single nodal or extranodal site excluding mediastinum or abdomen 
Stage II: Single extranodal tumor with regional nodal involvement 
 Two extranodal tumors on one side of diaphragm 
 Primary gastrointestinal tumor with or without associated mesenteric nodes 
 Two or more nodal areas on one side of diaphragm 
Stage IIR: Completely resected intra-abdominal disease 
Stage III: Two single extranodal tumors on opposite sides of diaphragm 
 All primary intrathoracic tumors 
 All paraspinal or epidural tumors 
 All extensive primary intra-abdominal disease 
 Two or more nodal areas on opposite sides of diaphragm 
Stage IIIA: Localized, non-resectable abdominal disease 
Stage IIIB: Widespread multiorgan abdominal disease 
Stage IV: Initial CNS or bone marrow involvement (< 25%)
