Waldenström Macroglobulinemia Facts
Excerpt
The goal of treatment for WM is to improve the quality of life of patients by relieving any symptoms caused by the disease. Patients without symptoms are generally observed (watch and wait) and do not need treatment until symptoms or complications develop. Some patients may not need treatment for years. However, patients in watch and wait need to have regular medical follow-up visits and lab tests to check for disease progression.
