There is no staging for acute leukemias. Acute leukemias are cancers with a sudden onset. The word "acute" itself is used to indicate this sudden onset and rapid progression. Acute leukemia is a disease requiring urgent treatment, as the average survival time is short if treatment is not started immediately.
The final stage of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) is defined as the blast phase. The blast phase of CML indicates that the disease has transformed into acute leukemia.
Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) in early stages is a disease where a "wait-and-see" strategy may be applied, requiring no treatment. The final or advanced stage represents the stage requiring treatment. In the final stage of CLL, splenomegaly, bone pain, decreased blood counts, and bleeding symptoms due to decreased platelet count may appear.
In the final stage of Multiple Myeloma, symptoms of anemia due to bone marrow infiltration may occur. Frequent infections due to decreased leukocyte count and bleeding symptoms due to decreased platelet count may also be seen.
