According to the Rai Staging System, there are five stages of chronic lymphocytic leukemia based on the degree of lymphocytosis, hemoglobin level, platelet level, presence of splenomegaly, and presence of lymphadenopathy. According to the Binet Staging System, there are three stages of chronic lymphocytic leukemia based on the degree of lymphocytosis, the presence of anemia or thrombocytopenia, and the involvement of three or more lymphoid regions. The tumor stage is considered one of the important factors that determine the optimal management protocol of chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients.

The staging is further modified into 3 groups:[5]
According to the Binet Staging System, there are three stages of chronic lymphocytic leukemia based on the degree of lymphocytosis, the presence of anemia or thrombocytopenia, and the involvement of three or more lymphoid regions: cervical, axillary and inguinal lymph nodes, and spleen and liver.[6][7][8][9]
