Dr. Rosen discusses how follicular lymphoma is treated and explains how often it is fatal.

Dr. Rosen:
The standard therapy for follicular lymphoma involves either chemotherapy or antibody therapy, and in some instances we’ll combine both chemotherapy and antibody therapy. In some instances, observation is indicated with no treatment, and the observation period can range from a few months to several years.

Follicular lymphoma is usually fatal, though individuals can live with this disease, sometimes for decades.
