The data collected were mainly consistent with the literature. A limitation of this study was the large number of patients lost to follow-up and the lack of molecular data for most patients diagnosed until 2010. An important challenge for the future will be MB biologic characterization in adults, with the identification of specific genetic patterns. It will be important to have more national and international collaborations to provide evidence-based management strategies that attempt to obtain a standard of care.
