Primary Breast Lymphoma: Analysis of 55 Cases of the Spanish Lymphoma Oncology Group

Conclusion Current treatments (chemotherapy, immunotherapy and radiotherapy) achieve good control of the disease, with an OS of 5 years in 80% of the patients, although there is no consensus in treatment, given the scarce incidence of these lymphomas. Teaser We reviewed 55 patients diagnosed of primary breast lymphoma, stages IE and IIE, in 16 Spanish institutions. Of the 55 cases, 96,4% correspond to non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Results on 5-year PFS and OS were 73% and 76% respectively. Current treatments achieve good control of the disease, with an OS of 5 years in 80% of the patients.
