The predominant therapy for splenic marginal zone lymphoma is [[surgery]]. Adjunctive [[radiotherapy]], [[chemotherapy]], and [[biological therapy]] may be required. The optimal therapy for  splenic marginal zone lymphoma depends on the clinical presentation.
There is no standardized treatment of [[splenic marginal zone lymphoma]] ([[SMZL]]) The optimal therapy depends on the clinical presentation. [[Asymptomatic]] patients may only be observed routinely without any treatment as it is an indolent tumor. [[Symptomatic]] patients may treated with either [[surgery]], [[immunotherapy]], [[chemotherapy]], immunochemotherapy or [[antiviral]] drugs. Both [[surgery]] and [[immunotherapy]] are equally effective but recently [[immunotherapy]] is considered as a better treatment option as there is no risk of complications that are associated with [[surgery]].

Overview

There is no standardized treatment of splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL) The optimal therapy depends on the clinical presentation. Asymptomatic patients may only be observed routinely without any treatment as it is an indolent tumor. Symptomatic patients may treated with either surgery, immunotherapy, chemotherapy, immunochemotherapy or antiviral drugs. Both surgery and immunotherapy are equally effective but recently immunotherapy is considered as a better treatment option as there is no risk of complications that are associated with surgery.

Medical Therapy

The optimal therapy for splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL) depends on the clinical presentation. Treatment options for the condition are as under:

Watchful waiting

  • It is a slow growing tumor so patients may not need treatment right away unless symptomatic. Asymptomatic patients may be observed every 3-6 months.[1]

Immunotherapy

Chemotherapy

Immunochemotherapy

Antiviral therapy
