In treating early stage follicular lymphoma with RT, do you approach grade 3 disease any differently than grade 1-2?

Topics: Hematologic Malignancies • Radiation Oncology • Lymphoma • Hematology

Would you prescribe to a higher dose? Treat with wider margins? Encourage the use of systemic therapy?

Answer from: Radiation Oncologist at Community Practice

Our philosophy is based on whether it is grade 3A or 3B. If it is 3A, then we treat like low grade lymphoma with RT (similar dose and principle) but if it is 3B, then treat with chemotherapy +/_ RT like diffuse large B cell lymphoma.
