Overview
The prognosis varies with the age: children have the most favorable prognosis. Burkitt's lymphoma in children is associated with a 5 year survival rate of 90%. Burkitt's lymphoma in adults is associated with a 5 year survival rate of 50%. The presence of metastasis in bone marrow or CNS is associated with a particularly poor prognosis among patients with Burkitt's lymphoma. The 5 year event free survival rate is 30%.
Prognosis
- In children, prognosis is good with survival rates >90%.
- In adults, prognosis is poorer, with a 5-year survival rate of 50% and is even worse with bone marrow or CNS involvement (>30% 5-year survival rate).
