Information for the public
Axicabtagene ciloleucel (Yescarta) is not normally available on the NHS for treating follicular lymphoma that comes back after or does not respond to 3 or more systemic treatments in adults. Systemic treatments are medicines that work throughout the whole body. They can be injections, infusions or taken by mouth.
Your doctor should talk with you about other treatment options. If you are already having it, you should be able to continue until you and your doctor decide when best to stop.
