Chest wall infiltration is a critical prognostic factor in breast implant-associated anaplastic large-cell lymphoma affected patients

Breast implant-associated anaplastic large-cell lymphoma is a rare disease with a favourable prognosis if adequately treated. Same staged patients have usually a similar prognosis and outcomes, but in our experience, IIA-staged patients have a wider prognosis with outcomes that vary from complete disease response to death. This study aimed to understand and identify all the factors that could influence the prognosis of this group of patients and verify if their prognosis matches the stage they belong to.
