Excerpt

Follicular lymphoma (FL) is the second most common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), accounting for almost 30% of all lymphomas, and the most common subtype of clinically indolent NHL. FL is a slow-growing B-cell lymphoproliferative disorder, with survival calculated in years. Based on histology, FL is graded from 1 to 3 (low grade to high grade).
