Overview
Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma. Stem cell transplant is usually reserved for patients with either relapse or refractory lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma.
Surgery
- Stem cell transplant is usually reserved for patients when either lymphoma comes back (recurs/relapses) after treatment or doesn’t respond to other treatments (called refractory disease).[1]
- Many people with lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma are older or may not be in good health, so a stem cell transplant may not be a good treatment option for them.
