Follicular Lymphoma Survival Rate: By Age, Stage, and More Read Article...
MyLymphomaTeam

With a profile like yours β€” stage 2, grade 1-2, FLIPI 0, and under 60 β€” the outlook is genuinely encouraging. That's about as favorable a starting position as follicular lymphoma gets! πŸ™‚

Here's a quick summary of what the numbers look like for someone in your situation:

- 5-year survival rate for stage 2: ~90%
- 10-year Show Full Answer

With a profile like yours β€” stage 2, grade 1-2, FLIPI 0, and under 60 β€” the outlook is genuinely encouraging. That's about as favorable a starting position as follicular lymphoma gets! πŸ™‚

Here's a quick summary of what the numbers look like for someone in your situation:

- 5-year survival rate for stage 2: ~90%
- 10-year survival rate (overall follicular lymphoma): 76%–83%
- FLIPI low-risk (score 0–1) 5-year survival: ~91%
- Under age 60 survival rate: ~95% at 5 years

These are population-level statistics, and individual outcomes vary β€” your FLIPI score of 0 and younger age are both strong positive factors. Regarding cause of death specifically from lymphoma vs. other causes β€” for low-risk, slow-growing follicular lymphoma like yours, many people actually live long enough that other age-related causes become more relevant than the lymphoma itself. This reflects how indolent (slow-growing) the disease truly is.

For relapse-free survival (RFS) at 10 years, data specifically for stage 2, grade 1-2, FLIPI 0 is limited in general statistics, but early-stage patients who respond well to treatment (such as localized radiation) can have very durable remissions.

It's worth asking your oncologist specifically about event-free survival at 24 months (EFS24), which is a strong predictor of long-term outcomes in follicular lymphoma.
