Abstract
Health-related quality of life measures are underemphasised in clinical trials and particularly valuable in follicular lymphoma as some interventions can result in substantial toxicity with uncertain impact on overall survival. The report by Marzolini and colleagues provides a nuanced discussion on the merits of rituximab monotherapy versus observation in asymptomatic follicular lymphoma patients.
Commentary on: Marzolini et al. Quality of life in advanced-stage, asymptomatic, non-bulky follicular lymphoma treated with rituximab shows significant improvement compared with watchful-waiting. Br J Haematol 2025; 206:876-886.
