Clinical features and outcomes of 1845 patients with follicular lymphoma: a real-world multicenter experience in China.

ABSTRACT: Clinical features and outcomes of FL patients in Chinese population are limited, thus promoting us to perform this analysis on a large cohort of 1845 patients with FL enrolled from nine medical centers nationwide in China.
