The Impact of Surveillance Imaging After Curative Intent Radiotherapy for Limited Stage Follicular Lymphoma

This retrospective cohort revealed no significant OS differences between relapse detection by SI versus clinical assessment. The incidence of morbidity was low in relapses that were detected clinically. Only 2.4% of SI investigations led to a confirmed relapse suggesting they may have limited utility in the follow-up of limited stage FL patients treated with curative intent radiotherapy. A prospective analysis of cost-effectiveness and impact of SI on psychological and physical morbidity may help guide clinicians when considering a SI follow-up strategy.
