Prognosis The prognosis of pemphigus has markedly improved over the last decades with steroid therapy. Nevertheless, mortality remains an issue (5% of cases). [orpha.net]

Patients in whom systemic therapy fails have a poor prognosis, with a median survival time of 2 months [1]. [bjui-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com]

The prognosis after the HIPEC treatment varies, and mainly depends on the origin of the tumor and the amount of cancer in the abdomen at the time of diagnosis. The number of patients with complications has been steadily decreasing in recent decades. [phg.eu]
