- Abstract
The FLIPI‐L has recently been proposed as a novel prognostic index in follicular lymphoma (FL), combining FLIPI and the presence of lymphopenia. In our single‐center validation in 381 FL patients, lymphopenia was less frequent than in the original publication and thus the distribution of risk categories was different. Although it was not able to properly predict time to first treatment, FLIPI‐L performed slightly better than FLIPI alone in the prediction of response, early relapse, progression‐free and overall survival, and histological transformation. This new tool or others encompassing parameters from the microenvironment might improve upon the prognostic ability of classical scores.
