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
- Men and women with childbearing potential should receive counseling about the potential effect of treatment on their fertility and options for fertility-preserving measures.

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.
Drug of choice for Bing-Neel Syndrome
Many recent studies have shown to be Ibrutinib (560mg), an oral Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor, with or without concurrent Rituximab, as a drug of choice for treatment of Bing-Neel syndrome. It works by penetrating the blood brain barrier.[4][5][6][7][8]
