Age and lymphocyte/monocyte ratio as prognostic factors for autologous transplantation in the treatment of patients with follicular lymphoma.

Objective: Follicular lymphoma (FL) is an indolent, lymphoproliferative disease of B-cell origin that has a heterogeneous disease course with varying outcomes. Certain patients may undergo autologous stem cell transplantation. We investigated the outcome of autologous stem cell transplantation in patients with FL.
