Abstract:
Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) is a rare lymphoma without a curable treatment method, which is characterized by MYD88 and CXCR4 gene mutations. The study on clinical manifestations, the pathological and genomic features has led to a series of promising clinical protocols. This article reviews the safety and efficacy of drugs including alkylating agents, proteasome inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies, and Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors in WM patients combined with the latest research of the individualized treatment for WM at the 59th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting, so as to analyze the feasibility of basic genomic treatment and current integrated regimens for WM.
