Updated information on follicular lymphoma

We have recently revised our information on follicular lymphoma. Follicular lymphoma is the most common type of low-grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma. 

We have included the latest information on:

• what follicular lymphoma is and who gets it
• the typical symptoms
• how follicular lymphoma is diagnosed and staged
• possible treatment options
• follow-up
• what happens if treatment doesn’t work or if follicular lymphoma comes back
• an overview of current research into new treatments
