Samenvatting
On behalf of the lymphoma and multiple myeloma working parties of the Dutch/Belgian HaematoOncology Foundation for Adults in the Netherlands (HOVON), we present a guideline for diagnosis and management of Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia (WM). Considering the indolent behavior and heterogeneous clinical presentation of WM, it is crucial to determine the right indications for treatment, as well as to individualize therapeutic options. There is a lack of large clinical trials due to the low incidence of WM. Based on the available data, we provide a practical diagnostic classification, as well as recommendations for first line therapy and options for treating relapsed disease.
