Abstract
Follicular lymphoma (FL) is an indolent, germinal center B cell-derived lymphoid neoplasm, for which recent advances in treatment have substantially improved patient survival. However, FL remains an incurable and heterogeneous disease, with groups of patients experiencing early disease progression, histologic transformation, or a high risk of treatment-related toxicity. Additionally, FL is a continually relapsing disease, and response rates and disease-control intervals decrease with each subsequent line of therapy. In this review, we explore the current treatment landscape for relapsed or refractory FL and promising therapies in development, highlighting the efficacy and potential risks of each treatment. We provide a real-world perspective on the unmet needs of patients with FL. Novel therapeutic approaches in development offer a wide array of options for clinicians when treating relapsed or refractory FL. A nuanced approach is required to address the needs of individual patients, taking into consideration both the risks and benefits of each treatment option, as well as patient preferences.
期刊介绍：
Experimental Hematology & Oncology is an open access journal that encompasses all aspects of hematology and oncology with an emphasis on preclinical, basic, patient-oriented and translational research. The journal acts as an international platform for sharing laboratory findings in these areas and makes a deliberate effort to publish clinical trials with 'negative' results and basic science studies with provocative findings.
Experimental Hematology & Oncology publishes original work, hypothesis, commentaries and timely reviews. With open access and rapid turnaround time from submission to publication, the journal strives to be a hub for disseminating new knowledge and discussing controversial topics for both basic scientists and busy clinicians in the closely related fields of hematology and oncology.
