1. The purpose of staging A.S is so that he knows the extent of how much the cancer has spread.
2. Hodgkins normally starts in the lymph nodes and usually moves to another set of lymph nodes. It can go to nearby organs. Stage one signifies that it is found in only one area either one lymph node or organ.
3. The difference between Hodgkins disease and non-Hodgkin lymphoma is that there is a presence of giant cells called Reed- Sternberg cells, which are crippled germinal center B cells.
4. The prognosis for A.S. is that he is in stage one Hodgkin disease because it is only found in one area, which is the axillary lymph node. Since A.S. is in stage one the predicted therapy would be a combination of chemotherapy and high dosage chemotherapy,
