Abstract
The effective prognostic factors for primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMLBCL) vary among published studies. The aim of the present study was to explore the factors influencing the overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) of patients with PMLBCL at a single institute in Taiwan. This retrospective study was conducted to analyze the prognostic impact of age, sex, disease stage, International Prognostic Index (IPI) score, treatment modality and initial response. A total of 72 patients with a median age of 28 years were included in the study. The mean OS and PFS were 171.40 and 159.77 months, respectively. Female sex, age ≤60 years, receiving radiotherapy (RT) and achieving a complete response were found to be associated with a significantly improved OS and PFS.
