To compare survival outcomes for follicular lymphoma patients treated at academic versus community cancer programs.
Retrospective analysis of patients diagnosed with follicular lymphoma from 2004 to 2022 using the National Cancer Database.
Comparison of demographic, clinical, and survival data between patients treated at Academic Cancer Programs and Community Cancer Programs.
Employs Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazards models to analyze overall survival.
158,994 patients with follicular lymphoma identified; 50% treated at Academic Cancer Programs.
Adjusted median overall survival for Academic Cancer Programs patients was longer (13.95 years) than for Community Cancer Programs (12.68 years).
Academic Cancer Programs showed statistically significant survival advantages at 2, 5, and 10 years compared to Community Cancer Programs.
