High Proliferation rate and NHL
i would like to hear from anyone whose lab slide biopsy shows a high proliferation rate.
My node excision biopsy showed a proliferation rate of 70-80%.
I am particularly interested about your oncologists' feedback about your proliferation rate and also how you have done in treatment. Does your proliferation rate affect your prognosis in any way?
Thanks!

Proliferation rate
Hi po18guy, Biopsies have confirmed follicular - follicular usually has a lower proliferation rate. Paradoxically, I have seen research that follicular with high proliferation rates tend to convert less than those with lower rates. Gratefully, I am NED.

All B-Cell Lymphomas are pretty well known
Therefore, treatment is well established and outcomes are steadily improving. You have probably been told, but follicular is considered to be a chronic, manageable disease. Many times, active surveillance (watch & wait) is recommended, as early treatment may not be the best course to take, as odd as that may sound.
