The Binet staging system is used to classify chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).

The Binet staging system, CLL is classified by the number of affected lymphoid tissue groups (neck lymph nodes, groin lymph nodes, underarm lymph nodes, spleen, and liver) and by whether or not the patient has anemia (too few red blood cells) or thrombocytopenia (too few blood platelets). Stages chronic lymphocytic leukemia, similar to Rai Staging System. The interpretation of the stages is as follows: -Binet stage A: Fewer than 3 areas of lymphoid tissue are enlarged, with no anemia or thrombocytopenia. -Binet stage B: 3 or more areas of lymphoid tissue are enlarged, with no anemia or thrombocytopenia. -Binet stage C: Anemia and/or thrombocytopenia are present. Any number of lymphoid tissue areas may be enlarged

Don't confuse with the Rai Staging System.
