Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -To date, a number of prognostic factors have been identified for both early-and advanced-stage HL patients. The presence of bulky mediastinal disease, high erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), age, the number of lymph nodes involved, and the presence of extranodal disease are the major prognostic factors (6).

Detailed explanation-2: -Although Hodgkin lymphoma can start almost anywhere, most often it starts in lymph nodes in the upper part of the body. The most common sites are in the chest, neck, or under the arms. Hodgkin lymphoma most often spreads through the lymph vessels from lymph node to lymph node.

Detailed explanation-3: -In general, the results of imaging tests such as PET and CT scans are the most important when determining the stage of the lymphoma.
