Prognostic factors and outcomes of adult lymphoblastic lymphoma in the United States

Conclusions Adult patients with LL have poor long-term outcomes and novel therapies are needed. Radiotherapy had a positive impact on T-LL outcome. Teaser We retrieved data of 696 adult patients with lymphoblastic lymphoma (LL) from the SEER-18 registries (53% T-LL, 19% B-LL). Five year survival rates for B-LL and T-LL were similar (45% vs. 48%). Age, race and radiotherapy were independent prognostic factors for outcome in T-LL. Limited tumor stage, and the most recent year of diagnosis are favorable prognostic factors for B-LL.
