Which lymphoma is prone to relapse?

Follicular lymphoma is particularly prone to relapse. It's a low-grade (indolent) lymphoma that grows slowly, and while treatments can help control it, the disease typically goes through cycles of remission and relapse.

Most people with follicular lymphoma will experience at least one relapse after treatment. About 20 percent of people relapse within two years of their first treatment, and within five years, the majority of people with advanced stage follicular lymphoma will have a relapse.

Low-grade lymphomas in general, including follicular lymphoma, CLL/SLL, and marginal zone lymphoma, tend to follow this pattern. They may only need treatment during periods of relapse and can go without treatment during times when symptoms are controlled.

If you're experiencing symptoms like swollen lymph nodes, night sweats, fever, unexplained weight loss, or fatigue, it's important to talk with your healthcare team right away.
