Immunotherapy is indeed a treatment option for follicular lymphoma. There are several types of immunotherapies available, including:

• Rituximab (a monoclonal antibody)
• CAR T-cell therapy
• Bispecific T-cell engagers (BiTEs)

CAR T-cell therapy has shown particularly promising results, with complete remission rates of up to 90% in some cases. While some patients may receive immunotherapy alone, treatment plans are highly individualized. The "watch and wait" approach you mentioned is common in follicular lymphoma, and when treatment begins, the specific therapy chosen depends on various factors unique to each person's case.

It's important to discuss your preference for immunotherapy-only treatment with your healthcare team, as they can best evaluate if this approach aligns with your specific situation and disease stage.
