Follicular lymphoma is a rapidly changing field, Winter explains. More recently, there is evidence showing the majority of FL patients will do well, however, 20% of patients will progress within the first 2 years. These patients will have a 5-year overall survival (OS) of 50%, compared to most patients who will have a median OS measured in decades.
