There is no consensus regarding the best treatment [[algorithm]], but watch-and-wait policies, [[alkylators]], [[anthracycline]]-containing regimens (eg. [[CHOP]]), [[rituximab]], [[autologous]] and [[allogenic]] [[hematopoietic stem cell transplantation]] have all been applied. The exception is localized disease, which can be cured by local [[irradiation]]. The typical pattern is one of good responses from treatment, followed by relapses some years later. Some patients may never need treatment.

Overview

The optimal therapy for follicular lymphoma depends on the stage at diagnosis, age, and prognostic scores. The predominant therapy for follicular lymphoma is chemotherapy. Adjunctive hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and radioimmunotherapy may be required.

Medical Therapy

  • The treatment of follicular lymphoma is based on the stage of the disease[1][2][3][4]
    • For stage 1 and 2, radiotherapy is done.
    • For stages 3 and 4, several chemotherapeutic drugs are used for treatment of follicular lymphoma.
    • Chemotherapy is started when there is high tumor bulk load which includes the following:
      • A tumor >7 cm in diameter
      • Three nodes in three distinct areas, each >3 cm in diameter
      • Symptomatic spleen enlargement
      • Organ compression
      • Ascites or pleural effusion

Follicular lymphoma

1. Stage 1 and 2:

  • Radiation doses of 24-30 Gy have been used.

2. High tumor bulk load

2.1. Adult:

    • Preferred regime 1. Bendamustine + rituximab - Day 1: Rituximab 375mg/m2 IV , Days 1 and 2: Bendamustine 90mg/m2 IV over 30–60 minutes. Repeat every 4 weeks for 6 cycles
    • Preferred regime 2. Bendamustine + obinutuzumab - Days 1 and 2: Bendamustine 90mg/m2 IV Days 1, 8, 15 of Cycle 1: Obintuzumab 1000mg IV followed by: Days 1 and 2: Bendamustine 90mg/m2 IV Days 1 of Subsequent Cycles: Obintuzumab 1000mg IV. Repeat every 4 weeks for 6 cycles.
    • Preferred regime 3. RCHOP (Category 1) - Day 0: Rituximab 375mg/m2 IV Day 1: Cyclophosphamide 750mg/m2 IV + doxorubicin 50mg/m2 IV + vincristine 1.4mg/m2 IV (max 2mg) Days 1–5: Prednisone 100mg/m2 orally. Repeat every 3 weeks for 6 to 8 cycles
    • Preferred regime 4. CHOP + obinutuzumab - Day 1: Cyclophosphamide 750mg/m2 IV + doxorubicin 50mg/m2 IV + vincristine 1.4mg/m2 IV (max 2mg) Days 1–5: Prednisone 100mg/m2 orally Days 1, 8, 15 of Cycle 1: Obintuzumab 1000mg IV followed by: Day 1: Cyclophosphamide 750mg/m2 IV + doxorubicin 50mg/m2 IV + vincristine 1.4mg/m2 IV (max 2mg) Days 1–5: Prednisone 100mg/m2 orally Days 1 of Subsequent Cycles: Obintuzumab 1000mg IV. Repeat every 3 weeks for 6 to 8 cycles.

Repeat every 3 weeks for 6 to 8 cycles
    • Alternate regime 2. Rituximab, Day 1: Rituximab 375mg/m2 IV. Repeat every 7 days for 4 cycles

2.2. Elderly

  • Preferred regime 1. Rituximab 375mg/m2 IV. Repeat every 7 days for 4 cycles
  • Preferred regime 2. Single agent alkylator ± rituximab - Chlorambucil 0.1mg/kg/day for 45 days then on days 1–15, monthly for 4 months • Rituximab 375mg/m2 weekly for 4 doses, then monthly for 4 infusions

3. Consolidation and extended dosing

  • Rituximab maintenance - Day 1: Rituximab 375mg/m2 IV. Repeat every 8 weeks for 12 cycles for patients initially presenting with high tumor burden.
  • Obinutuzumab maintenance - Day 1: Obinutuzumab 1000 mg IV. Repeat every 8 weeks for 12 cycles.
  • Radioimmunotherapy - 90Yttrium-ibritumomab-tiuxetan 15 MBq/kg (0.4 mCi/kg) single dose after induction with chemotherapy.

High-dose therapy with autologous stem cell rescue and Allogeneic stem cell transplant for highly selected patients.
