Three-year MCL-specific mortality declined from 34.2% in 2000–2006 to 22.8% in 2020–2023, while relative survival rose from 63.8% to 73.6%.

MCL-specific mortality decreased across all age groups, although patients aged 85 years or older had the highest mortality and the smallest decline.
-
4
The age-by-era interaction was significant (P = 0.009), indicating that mortality improvements differed between patients aged 65 years or younger and older patients.

After adjustment, era 4 was associated with lower MCL-specific mortality than era 1 (subdistribution hazard ratio, 0.52; P < .001), and adjusted overall survival showed a similar pattern.
