Follicular Lymphoma Treatment Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2017 - 2025 Follicular lymphoma is the second most common sub-type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), which accounts for more than 20% of all NHL cases. Follicular lymphoma is highly indolent. The most common sub-type of NHL is diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Follicular lymphoma is referred to as cancer of the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is a part of the body’s immune system. It comprises the spleen, the thymus, the lymph nodes, the tonsils, the lymph tissue, and the bone marrow.

Some of the key factors that would drive the global follicular lymphoma treatment market in the near future are rising prevalence of follicular lymphoma, family history of the disease, and increasing incidence of blood disorders worldwide. In addition, increasing research and development activities for innovation of newer drugs and treatment methods and technological advancements in disease diagnosis would further fuel the follicular lymphoma market in the near future. However, strict regulatory requirements for drug approval, high treatment cost, and adverse effects associated with different treatment methods may restrain the market during the forecast period. Furthermore, a large number of promising pipeline drugs and newer therapies such as monoclonal antibodies along with government
