Supportive therapy for [disease name] includes [therapy 1], [therapy 2], and [therapy 3].

OR

The majority of cases of [disease name] are self-limited and require only supportive care.

OR

[Disease name] is a medical emergency and requires prompt treatment.

OR

The mainstay of treatment for [disease name] is [therapy].

OR   The optimal therapy for [malignancy name] depends on the stage at diagnosis.

OR

[Therapy] is recommended among all patients who develop [disease name].

Patients with [disease subclass 1] are treated with [therapy 1], whereas patients with [disease subclass 2] are treated with [therapy 2].

Medical Therapy

There are several different options for treating Waldenström macroglobulinemia depending on stage of the disease:[1]

Asymptomatic/Smoldering Waldenström's Macroglobulinemia

There is no treatment for asymptomatic Waldenström macroglobulinemia. Asymptomatic waldenström's macroglobulinemia can be monitored every 3-6 months.[2] Active surveillance includes monitoring of the following laboratory parameters:

  • Complete blood count (CBC) with differential
  • Complete metabolic panel (CMP)
  • Immunoglobulin levels in the serum (quantitative)
  • Serum protein electrophoresis

Symptomatic Waldenström's Macroglobulinemia

Symptomatic patients with waldenström macroglobulinemia are started on chemotherapy depending on the stage.[3]

  • Initial stage of waldenström's macroglobulinemia associated with:
  • Late stage of Waldenström's macroglobulinemia associated with:
Treatment Regimen[3]

Drugs Side effects

CHOP-R regimen

Ibrutinib

Rituximab

  • Infusion related reaction
  • Hepatitis B reaction
  • Progressive multi-focal leukoencephaloptahy

FR regimen

BDR regimen

DRC regimen

CR regimen

IR regimen

Hyperviscosity syndrome

  • Waldenström macroglobulinemia complicated with hyperviscosity syndrome is a medical emergency and requires prompt treatment with plasmapheresis.[3]
  • Plasmapheresis temporarily lowers IgM levels by removing some of the abnormal IgM from the blood, which makes blood thinner.
  • Plasmapheresis is usually given until chemotherapy starts to work.
  • Plasmapheresis is combined with chemotherapy to control the disease for a longer period of time.
