Clinical detection, defined by patient-reported symptoms at the time of confirmed detection of disease, concerning physical exam findings documented during a clinical visit, or abnormal lab values on prior follow-up; surveillance detection, defined by relapse of disease first suggested on imaging reviewed by a radiologist, as part of a routine surveillance schedule, and later confirmed by other diagnostic means; Variables are presented as N (%) unless otherwise noted; p <0.05 are marked in bold.

Abbreviations: Stage, Ann Arbor Staging; ECOG, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance score; FLIPI, follicular lymphoma international prognostic index risk category; B-symp., B-symptoms present on presentation; Bone marrow involved, involvement of bone marrow by follicular lymphoma on presentation; GELF, Groupe d’Etude des Lymphomes Folliculaires score ≥1.
