When are we going to starta cytotoxic treatment ?
GELA criteria BNLI criteria
Rapid disease progression in the preceding 3 months
Life threatening organ involvement
Renal or liver infiltration Bone lesions
Systemic symptoms or pruritus Hb<10 g/dL or WBC< 3.0×109/L
or Plat.<100×109/L ; related to marrow involvement
High tumor bulk defined by either:- a tumor > 7 cm- 3 nodes in 3 distinct areas
each > 3 cm- symptomatic splenic enlargement- organ compression- ascites or pleural effusion
Presence of systemic symptoms
Serum LDH or β2-microglobulin above normal values
Management of Follicular lymphoma
Low tumor burden

Conclusions
Next generation trials all include some kind of maintenance and further investigate:
─ Stimulating immune effector cells
─ Optimizing the antibodies
─ Chemosparing strategies compared to R-chemotherapy
Thank You
LNH folliculaire: options en rechute
At relapse Many strategies are applicable:
─ Rituximab alone
─ Radiolabelled antibody
─ Other chemotherapy agents (FCM, DHAP, Bendamustine…)
─ Autologous transplant
─ Allogeneic transplant
─ New agents … New antibodies Proteasome inhibitors (bortezomib), IMiDs BH3 mimetics, BTK inhibitors, PI3K inhibitors??

Treatment of relapse/progression in FL
Treatment depends─ Line of relapse: 1st, 2nd, >2nd
─ Time to relapse (from last dose of treatment): cut-off at 12months? 6 months for refractory disease
─ Previous treatment(s)
─ Histological transformation
─ Patient’s age, comorbidities
─ Patient wishes
─ ….
Histological transformation at 1st relapse
Bachy E, et al. J Clin Oncol 2009; in press.Bachy E, et al. J Clin Oncol 2009; in press.
Treatment of first relapse
Objectives─ To achieve the longest survival
─ To reach the longest PFS Try to have a 2nd CR
─ To preserve quality of life Use less toxic regimens even if less CRs ? Obtain a new CR with long PFS ?
─ Try not to use agents with long term toxicity
Chemotherapy
If the patient had already received R-CHOPSalvage regimen
─ With rituximab
─ DHAP, ESHAP, ICE, VIM
─ Followed by high-dose therapy and autologous transplant
(Z-BEAM or BEAM)
─ R-FC, R-FM, R-FCM, R-bendamustine
No study comparing the different regimens
