To determine if immediate therapy for follicular lymphoma is required.

Patients must meet ≥1 criteria to be considered “high” tumor burden; criteria below: - Any nodal or extranodal tumor mass >7 cm diameter - Involvement of at least 3 nodal sites, each with diameter >3 cm - Presence of any systemic or B symptoms - Splenic enlargement with inferior margin below the umbilical line - Compression syndrome (ureteral, orbital, gastrointestinal) - Pleural or peritoneal serous effusion (irrespective of cell content) - Leukemic phase (>5.0 x109/L circulating malignant cells) - Cytopenia (granulocyte count < 1.0 x109/L and/or platelets < 100x109/L)
