What is the relapse rate for MALT lymphoma of the breast?

The search results don't provide specific relapse rate information for MALT lymphoma of the breast. However, they do indicate that MALT lymphoma treatments are generally very effective, with nearly 9 out of 10 people living at least five years after diagnosis.

MALT lymphoma of the breast would be considered a type of primary breast lymphoma. The outlook varies based on the stage at diagnosis:

- Stage 1 and 2 disease have excellent survival rates (greater than 90% and 75% respectively)
- Overall five-year survival for primary breast lymphoma is about 90%

While these survival statistics are encouraging, they don't directly tell us about relapse rates. Your healthcare team can provide more specific information about relapse risk based on your individual situation, including the stage of your lymphoma and how well you respond to initial treatment.
