    The survival rate for FLC largely depends on whether (and to what degree) the cancer has metastasized, i.e. spread to the lymph nodes or other organs. Distant spread (metastases), significantly reduces the median survival rate. [19] Five-year survival rates vary between 40 and 90%. [19]

The survival rate depends largely on the severity of disease and other medical risk factors in the recipient. [122] In the United States, the MELD score is used to prioritize patients for transplantation. [123]
