Could some people with Follicular Lymphoma Be Cured? New evidence sparks careful optimism
New long-term research is raising one of the most important, and sensitive, questions in follicular lymphoma: could a subset of patients already be cured?

New long-term research is raising one of the most important, and sensitive, questions in follicular lymphoma: could a subset of patients already be cured?

In October 2025, we conducted the FLF’s annual Global Patient Survey to better understand the challenges, concerns, and priorities of people living with follicular lymphoma. More than 1,000 people took part from over 50 countries worldwide – sharing their experiences across different stages of the disease and from healthcare systems around the world. These insights offer an important perspective on where support is working well and where further progress is needed.

This International Women’s Day the FLF and our global community are proud to celebrate and highlight the exceptional women whose scientific insight, dedication and innovation are driving progress in follicular lymphoma research.

Every December, over 30,000 haematology experts from around the world gather for the American Society of Haematology (ASH) conference, where groundbreaking research is shared and the future of lymphoma treatment takes shape. In December 2025, the FLF team was at ASH in Orlando, USA on a clear mission: to find out the latest breakthroughs, represent you and drive progress toward a cure for follicular lymphoma.

On November 18, 2025, the FDA approved epcoritamab-bysp (EPKINLY®) in combination with rituximab and lenalidomide for adults with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma after at least one prior therapy. This approval applies to patients in the United States..

At the recent 18th International Conference on Malignant Lymphoma (ICML), the FLF shone a spotlight on follicular lymphoma by hosting our very own satellite symposium for the second time, titled: “Charting our Progress Towards a Cure”.

In June 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a new combination treatment option for adults with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma (FL).
This combination includes tafasitamab (also known as Monjuvi®, developed by Incyte), rituximab, and lenalidomide — and is now available for eligible patients in the United States.

One example of the impactful ways we advance our mission to cure follicular lymphoma (FL) is through our seed funding of the world-renowned Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

In recent weeks there have been a number of announcements regarding an alternative treatment option now being available for adults with relapsed/ refractory indolent follicular lymphoma (FL) across the EU and transformed follicular lymphoma within the UK.

The Follicular Lymphoma Foundation (FLF) was thrilled to participate in the recent American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting.
