Prognosis of the follicular lymphoma depends on the histological grade and the proliferation fraction.
Grade 1 and 2 are indolent while grade 3 have more aggressive course.
Presence of more than 6 chromosomal breaks and a complex karyotype associated with poor outcome.
You correlate your investigations with this, specific time period can not be said in any diseasebut you can know the aaggressiveness of the disease.
I hope you get what you want.
