Overview

Pathology



Rappaport classification: nodular poorly differentiated lymphocytic, nodular mixed
Working Formulation: follicular small cleaved, follicular mixed



Natural history


Prognostic Factors

FLIPI2: The following factors were found to be predictive of outcome in patients with follicular lymphoma:

Age > 60

Largest diameter of largest involved node > 6 cm

bone marrow involvement

β2-microglobulin > upper limit normal

serum hemoglobin level < 12 g/dl

Low risk = 0 risk factors, 5 year PFS 79.5%

int risk = 1-2, 51.2%

High risk = 3-5, 18.8%


FLIPI
Risk Factors: Five factors calculate FLIPI risk
1. Age > 60 yearslow risk
2. Ann Arbor stage III-IV0-1 factors
3. Hemoglobin < 12 g/dLintermediate risk
4. Number of nodal areas - 5 or more2 factors
5. LDH > normal limitshigh risk
