Follicular lymphoma is a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, which is a cancer of the lymphatic system. The most common age to be diagnosed with follicular lymphoma is 60-65. It's slightly more common in women than in men. We hope this information answers your questions.
The body has two main types of lymphocytes that can develop into lymphomas: B lymphocytes (B cells) and T lymphocytes (T cells). Follicular lymphoma (FL) is the most common indolent (slow- growing) form of NHL, accounting for approximately 12 percent of all B-cell NHLs. Common symptoms of FL include enlargement of the lymph nodes in the neck, underarms, abdomen, or groin, as well as fatigue, shortness of breath, night sweats, and weight loss.
