Dr Tycel Phillips provides an overview of the most common presenting clinical symptoms at the time of initial presentation of patients with follicular lymphoma (FL). Dr Andrew Zelenetz expands on this discussion by delineating the wide range of possible clinical manifestations, from complete lack of symptoms—whereby FL is found incidentally, for example during routine imaging—to severe and debilitating B-symptoms. Ms Peg Rummel emphasizes the role of nurses and nurse navigators, as members of a multidisciplinary clinical team, in directing patients to the appropriate HCP, as well as educate them on the value of tumor tissue biopsy for a definitive diagnosis of FL, which is a prerequisite to the delivery of appropriate therapy.

Dr Andrew Zelenetz presents key aspects of the epidemiology of, and currently achieved survivorship in, follicular lymphoma (FL) and compares them with those seen in more commonly diagnosed malignancies treated by the broader group of community-based medical oncologists. Dr Tycel Phillips comments on the paucity of patient features or disease attributes that would help predict poor clinical outcomes, including reduced survival, when FL patients are evaluated at the time of initial diagnosis.
