Long-term incidence and geographic trends of follicular lymphoma in Canada: A population-based study

Rationale: Follicular lymphoma is the most common indolent lymphoma and the second most common non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Follicular lymphoma accounts for 10%-20% of all lymphomas in the Western world. Primary cutaneous follicular B-cell lymphoma arises in the skin, while the systemic extranodal follicular lymphoma often involves the skin. Epidemiology and geographic trends of follicular lymphoma have not been investigated in Canada. Our study's objective is to analyze incidence and geographic characteristics of follicular lymphoma in Canada.
