Follicular lymphoma (FL) occurs predominantly at advanced age, with an annual incidence of 3-5 cases per 100 000 inhabitants in Western countries. The clinical course is heterogeneous. ⋯ Given the good long-term prognosis of FL, the treatment must be chosen with care and thorough follow-up is necessary to ensure detection of late sequelae such as second malignancies or organ damage.

The use of colonoscopy has increased and colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence has decreased after the introduction of screening colonoscopy in Germany. However, it remains unknown to what extent progress has been achieved in the prevention of cancer in the proximal colon, distal colon, and rectum. ⋯ The results support the assumption that the increased use of colo - noscopy has contributed to substantial reductions in the incidence of distal CRC incidence and the mortality from cancers in the entire colon and rectum.
