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.
Follicular lymphoma is usually diagnosed with a lymph node biopsy. This may be done as a surgical biopsy (with nodes that are palpable such as in the neck) or as a core needle biopsy (for nodes deeper in the body). A small sample of the affected node is taken and examined under the microscope by a pathologist.
