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].
OR
Pharmacologic medical therapy is recommended among patients with [disease subclass 1], [disease subclass 2], and [disease subclass 3].
OR
Pharmacologic medical therapies for [disease name] include (either) [therapy 1], [therapy 2], and/or [therapy 3].
OR
Empiric therapy for [disease name] depends on [disease factor 1] and [disease factor 2].
OR
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:
- Neuropathy
- Anemia or cytopenias
- Low-volume nodal involvement
- Asymptomatic splenomegaly
- Late stage of Waldenström's macroglobulinemia associated with:
- Adenopathy
- Symptomatic splenomegaly
- Cytopenias
- Hyperviscosity syndrome
- Neuropathy
- Constitutional symptoms

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.
