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.
