The age-adjusted international prognostic index 2 (A-FLIPI2) for elderly patients with follicular lymphoma.

ABSTRACT: Follicular lymphoma (FL) is a common B-cell lymphoma and typically affects the elderly population. It is urgently required to enhance our comprehension of disease-specific outcomes in elderly FL patients and identify a reliable predictive indicator to assess patient risk and guide treatment options for them. Therefore, we retrospectively analysed clinical data of 128 elderly patients (aged 60 years or older) with FL treated at Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute & Hospital from 2002 to 2020. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify high risk prognostic factors, and we evaluated the predictive capacity of several prognostic scoring models by survival analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Our analysis revealed that the age ≥70 was a signi
