Indolent lymphoma
Indolent lymphoma, also known as low-grade lymphoma, is a group of slow growing non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL). Because indolent lymphoma is usually very slow growing and slow to spread, it tends to have fewer signs and symptoms when first diagnosed and may not require treatment straight away. Possible symptoms include one or more swollen but painless lymph nodes, unexplained fever and unintended weight loss. 

There are several subtypes of indolent lymphoma. These include cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (mycosis fungoides and sézary syndrome), follicular lymphoma (FL), marginal zone lymphoma, small cell lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL)/chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma/Waldenström macroglobulinemia. Follicular Lymphoma (FL) is the most common subtype.

Indolent lymphoma accounts for 41 percent of all NHL cases in North America and North Europe, white people have higher incidence rates than black and Asian people.The cause of the racial, ethnic and geographical disparities is poorly understood. It mainly affects older adults and it affects both men and women almost equally.
Indolent lymphoma is usually considered incurable without the use of allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT), unless the disease is localised. However, due to its slow growing nature and response to effective treatment, patients often have prolonged survival.
