We wish to share recent progress in research and new therapies against follicular lymphoma (FL) and highlight exciting opportunities to improve the treatment of FL. Follicular lymphoma has been somewhat neglected by the research community, but recent genomic studies have identified key genetic lesions in FL. In addition, a new murine model is available to explore the function of these lesions in development, progression, and treatment of FL. Moreover, new small molecule inhibitors are now available that target key pathways in FL including B-cell receptor signaling and histone modifiers. FL is a very common and still incurable form of lymphoma. However recent genomic and in vivo biological studies are beginning to unveil the molecular drivers of FL. This coincides with the development of effective small molecule inhibitors against key targets. Together these developments suggest that we are at a long overdue watershed moment in the treatment of FL.
