Overview

The prognosis of diffuse large B cell lymphoma is good with treatment. Diffuse large B cell lymphoma is associated with a 5 year survival rate ranging from 70% to more than 90% among children.

Prognosis

Several subtypes of diffuse large B cell lymphoma have been identified, each having a different clinical presentation and prognosis. However, the usual treatment for each of these is chemotherapy, often in combination with an antibody targeted at the tumour cells.The IPI score is used in prognosis in clinical practice.[1]

  • Through these treatments, more than half of patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma can be cured,[2] and overall survival for older adults at five years is around 58%.[3]
  • For children with diffuse large B-cell lymphomas, most studies have found 5-year survival rates ranging from about 70% to more than 90%.[4]
  • The Germinal-center subtype has the best prognosis, with 66.6% of treated patients surviving more than five years.[5]
  • Lenalidomide has been recently shown to improve outcomes in the Non-germinal center subtype.[6]

International Prognostic Index [7]

  • All patients:
  • Serum LDH > normal
  • Performance status 2-4
  • Stage III or IV
  • Extranodal involvement >1 site
  • International Index,
  • All patients
  • Low 0 or 1
  • Low intermediate 2
  • High intermediate 3
  • High 4 or 5

Age-Adjusted International Prognostic Index

  • Patients <60 YEARS
  • Stage III or IV
  • Serum LDH > normal
  • Performance status 2-4
  • International Index,
  • Patients < 60 YEARS
  • Low/intermediate 1
  • High/intermediate 2
  • High 3
