Follicular lymphoma is a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a cancer that develops in the lymphatic system. According to the Swedish Cancer Society, around 250 people in Sweden are diagnosed with the disease each year, and its prognosis varies considerably.
There are currently two CAR-T therapies approved in the EU for the treatment of follicular lymphoma: Yescarta, from Gilead Sciences, and Breyanzi, from Bristol Myers Squibb.
