Is radiotherapy curative for stage I and II low-grade follicular lymphoma?

Results of a long-term follow-up study of patients treated at Stanford University.

Mac Manus MP, Hoppe RT J Clin Oncol 1996 Apr;14(4):1282-90.

• At 5, 10, 15, and 20 years, 55%, 44%, 40%, and 37% of patients,

respectively, were relapse-free. Only five of 47 patients who reached

10 years without relapse subsequently developed recurrence.

• Survival and freedom from relapse (FFR) significantly worse for older

patients.

• Patients who have remained free of disease for 10 years are unlikely

to relapse
