Treatment of follicular lymphoma.

Disease status Treatment Comment
Localized disease RT - Potentially curative (ISRT 24–30Gy)
- The addition of systemic therapy to RT improves PFS but not OS
Rituximab - Radiotherapy ineligible patients
CIT - Non-contiguous, bulky disease
Watch and wait - Stable, asymptomatic patients
Advanced disease Watch and wait - Without treatment indications (Table 1)
CIT± antibody maintenance - Rituximab or obinutuzumab+(CHOP, CVP, Bebdamustine)
- Maintenance improves PFS but not OS
Rituximab
Lenalidomide+rituximab
- For low tumor burden
- As effective as chemoimmunotherapy
Relapsed disease Watch and wait - Stable, asymptomatic patients
Palliative RT - 2×2Gy
CIT± antibody maintenance - Long previous remission with CIT
- Non-resistant regimen
Rituximab - For low tumor burden
Lenalidomide+rituximab - POD≤24 months after CIT
PI3K inhibitors - Double refractory disease
EZH2 inhibitor (tazemetostat) - EZH2 mutation-positive disease
Radioimmunotherapy - Not widely used
Auto/allo-HSCT - In selected patients
CAR-T cell therapy - After ≥2 lines of systemic therapy [63]
