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 non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) are considered low-grade cancers because they are slow growing compared to the more common, aggressive forms of NHL. Follicular lymphoma affects the B-cells, a type of lymphoma cell. It occurs more commonly in elderly patients; the average age at diagnosis is 60 years. The majority of patients have advanced disease at the time of diagnosis, and patients commonly have cancer cells that have spread outside the lymph system.
