Relapsed or Refractory FL: Best Practices for Active Surveillance & Reinforcement of Management Plans
Drs Tycel Phillips and Andrew Zelenetz discuss best practices around implementing active surveillance (AS) after initial diagnosis of follicular lymphoma (FL). Ms Peg Rummel comments on the role of oncology nurses – including nurse navigators - in enhancing the acceptance of an AS approach by FL patients, as well as reinforcing a dynamic plan of care in patients who experience relapses or harbor treatment-refractory disease.

Predicting High-Risk Disease Using Progression of Disease in 24 Months (POD24) and the Key Role of Repeat Biopsy to Exclude the Diagnosis of Transformation to a High-Grade Lymphoma in Patients with Relapsed Follicular Lymphoma
Dr Andrew Zelenetz explains the basis for the currently nearly universal use of the end point of “progression of disease in 24 months” (POD24) as a metric in patients with relapsed follicular lymphoma (FL) to identify a high-risk subpopulation. He also discusses how POD24 impacts the choice of therapy and assessing the impact of the next line of therapy. Dr Tycel Phillips emphasized the importance of repeat biopsy in patients with relapsed or refractory FL, to exclude the presence of histologic transformation of FL into a high-grade diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, which necessitates expeditious detection, staging, and aggressive therapy.
