Abstract EN
Follicular lymphoma (FL) is an indolent lymphoma with long median survival.
Many studies have been performed to build up prognostic scores potentially useful to identify patients with poorer outcome.
In 2004, an international consortium coordinated by the International Follicular Lymphoma Prognostic Factor project was established and a new prognostic study was launched (FLIPI2) using progression-free survival (PFS) as main endpoint and integrating all the modern parameters prospectively collected.
Low-grade non-Hodgkin lymphomas were once considered as a heterogenous group of lymphomas characterized by an indolent clinical course.
Each entity is characterized by unique clinicobiologic features.
Some studies have been focused on prognostic factors in single lymphoma subtypes, with the development of specific-entity scores based on retrospective series, for instance splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL).
A widely accepted prognostic tool for clinical usage for indolent non-follicular B-cell lymphomas is largely awaited.
In this paper we summarized the current evidence regarding prognostic assessment of indolent follicular and non-follicular lymphomas.
