| Description | Waldenström macroglobulinaemia (WM) is a disease the incidence of which is approximately 10 times lower than that of multiple myeloma. The incidence of WM is reported to be respectively 0.34 per 100,000 men and 0.7 per 100,000 women. It is one of the less aggressive lymphoproliferative diseases in which therapy is indicated only when the disease symptoms start to manifest. We present a retrospective analysis of patients with the symptomatic form of WM who were treated with chemotherapy in our centre over the last 9 years |
