    Mantle Cell Lymphoma International Prognostic Index (MIPI)

    Predicts survival in patients with mantle cell lymphoma.
    When to Use
    Pearls/Pitfalls
    Why Use

    Use in patients presenting with advanced stage mantle cell lymphoma, to help prognosticate and potentially determine therapy.

    • While most patients with advanced mantle cell lymphoma need to be treated soon after diagnosis, there is growing recognition of a small percentage of very low risk patients who may not need treatment for a much longer period.
    • If Ki-67 is available, it can be added to calculate the MIPIb or “biologic" score.

    The MIPI is more specific to mantle cell lymphoma than the International Prognostic Index (IPI).
