Staging and Workup of follicular lymphoma

• Lugano classification
• Staging primarily consists of cross-sectional imaging w/ either a CT scan of chest/abdomen/pelvis (preferred) ± neck or a PET scan
• PET particularly useful if there is concern for transformed disease or to confirm limited distribution in early stage
• Peripheral nodal areas evaluated w/ physical exam
• BM bx needed to complete staging, but can be deferred if observation or standard Rx for adv disease is planned
• CBC, comprehensive profile, *LDH, HIV & hepatitis B & C serologies should also be sent
